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.

Make sure you all look for Dr. Tony's new book:

"A Liver Runs Through It".

It's the heart warming story of a doctor, a scalpel, and his blond, flop-eared psychic mongrel retriever, BO.

Thrill to the adventures of the Alaskan bush doctor who has no patients, but spends a lot of time in the wilderness talking to his faithful companion, Bo.

"Ruff, ruff, ruff, ruff," says the psychic canine one day to Dr. Tony. "It does indeed look like snow," replies the doctor.

Palpitating exchanges such as this are not the exception in this tome.
