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.
This one's a bit bedraggled because it was rainy and I had a hard time keeping anything dry, including the container I was putting mayflies in. I was practically juggling up there balanced on a rock trying to catch mayflies and trout at the same time.
This mayfly was collected from the Bois Brule River in Wisconsin on May 19th, 2004 and added to Troutnut.com by Troutnut on January 25th, 2006.
