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.
These specimens were collected from a mating swarm from the east branch of the North Fork of the Touchet River, upstream from the Bluewood Ski Area turn.It was a sunny warm day, mating swarm as 4-8 ft. above this small stream. Four male spinners were collected.Stream photos were taken.
This mayfly was collected from the Touchet River in Washington on July 15th, 2011 and added to Troutnut.com by Bnewell on July 15th, 2011.
