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.

No matter how big the one you just caught is, there's always a bigger one out there somewhere...

I didn't gobble those particular blueberries, but I did harvest about 7 gallons of wild blueberries this year.
