The famous nocturnal Hex hatch of the Midwest (and a few other lucky locations) stirs to the surface mythically large brown trout that only touch streamers for the rest of the year.
I'm a salmonid research scientist with the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife since 2022. I completed my Ph.D. in 2014 at the University of Alaska. I created Troutnut.com in February 2004 and worked on it full-time during various short breaks from school and work.
