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.
It looks like paradise for hatches. Who faces are the people in the

AS you know the Letort is is a stream that many curse and it is my belief that if one is able to consistently catch fish in her hallowed channels, there is not a stream nor river that they need fear the dreaded skunk on. She is my litmus test always and some days I smile and some days she smiles.
I hope this post may get Eric to speak up a bit here about Big Spring and the Letort and how a young man skipped school and through trial and error learned how to fool the larger fish of these two historic spring creeks.
The fact that Spence traveled all those miles and we happened to have a day when the bugs and the fish cooperated speaks highly of his Karmic bank account.
"Those who think that the center of angling progress and sophistication is in the Catskills would change their minds if they were to spend a week fishing around Harrisburg, Pennsylvania., as I did this summer. They would be convinced, as I was, that the angling progress of the future will come from there, in part at least."
