Hexagenia limbata

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.

27" brown trout, my largest ever. It was the sub-dominant fish in its pool. After this, I hooked the bigger one, but I couldn't land it.
Troutnut is a project started in 2003 by salmonid ecologist Jason "Troutnut" Neuswanger to help anglers and fly tyers unabashedly embrace the entomological side of the sport. Learn more about Troutnut or support the project for an enhanced experience here.

Hi Troutnuts, wishing you all a Happy Thanksgiving. I'm thankful for the recent news that the Pebble Creek Mine has been shut down by the Army Corps of Engineers, that a vaccine is on the way so I should be good to fly to Montana this summer, and that our streams and fish will again have the protection of the EPA in the coming four years. Hoping all of you are well and that your fishing prospects are looking good.

Likewise, there is always a lot to be thanful for. Family, fish, health. Hopefully be heading up to the Jemez Mts next Wednesday or Thursday to find some Rio Grande cutthroat. I'll be sure to share success or failures. Either way it will be beautiful and cold.
