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.

Just thought I would show some of ya'll what there is to catch in the UP of Michigan in the fall. The steelhead are caught coming up from Lake Superior. Riversnorth is a local guide service owned by Brad Petzke, looks like he knows how to find the fish. I'd like to find some new water with him someday.
