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.

I want to thank everyone who pointed out that the full-size picture views had stopped working for a while. It's fixed now.

I had made one little change to the full-size viewer code (for better stats tracking) and made one little typo in the process. What's odd is that it was working for me, but not for others, when it should have been broken for everyone. Anyway, it's fine now!
