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 specimen resembled several others of around the same size and perhaps the same species, which were pretty common in my February sample from the upper Yakima. Unfortunately, I misplaced the specimen before I could get it under a microscope for a definitive ID.

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.

Fixed. It's just a youtube video so it's safe, Matt. Possible spam as it has little fishing and no fly fishing in it. Interesting to see a river in Siberia, though.

I actually enjoyed the video. It was interesting to see how they traveled, fished, and what they considered important. Beautiful water. And I liked Vladimir's music.

Well I viewed it and know that I don't ever want to fish there. Looks like it should have a lot bigger fish than grayling that were barely 15" long.

Sorry for the Google translation:)

Grayling different. He breed white to 300 grams weight and the gray is much larger. But our goal was not a fish. We had a rest from the city.
Music will be ready soon and I will show the video which was shot Alexander. He catches a fly fishing Lenka the border with Mongolia. I'm glad you liked my music, thank you!

Welcome to the forum Vladimir!

I want to second Louis on the music. Also, I'm very glad to see you personally posted. Looking forward to more!

BTW - the problem was you posted your personal Youtube account file instead of the video file. Also, If you bracket "link" and "/link" (not including parenthesis) around your video file when you post it will show up as blue and be linked. That way, the visitors won't have to copy and leave the forum to view it (see my edit of your post above).
