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.

I haven't posted in awhile. Just wanted to tell everyone in the Denver Metro to look me up at Anchors Away Tattoo at 2575 S. Broadway. I have not been in the water in a while, but we have to work hard to be able to play hard. Tight lines to you all!! Stop by and get some ink and talk fishing, whats cooler?
