Hex Mayflies
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.

This dun emerged from a mature nymph on my desk. Unfortunately its wings didn't perfectly dry out.
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.

All men who fish may in turn be divided into two parts: those who fish for trout and those who don't. Trout fishermen are a race apart: they are a dedicated crew- indolent, improvident, and quietly mad.

it sounds like everyone here is from PA so Naturally that must be the best place to move so everyone should move to PA and take up more stream space

There are no bad fishing days.

Okay Spence, you're welcome for a visit. You'll have to drink New Glarus, though.

When asked what I just caught that monster on I showed him. He put on his magnifiers and said, "I can't believe they can see that."
