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.

Simm G3 is my favorite. It has worked better at doing what it is supposed to do than the others I've tried. Actually worth the price to stay dry in my opinion.
Fishing with bait is like swearing in church.

I'm assuming that you are referring to the Beans Emerger jacket. It's a very good, very durable Jacket for the money. I know that cabela's has one of there mid level jackets on sale for around $60 on line right now
