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 Skwala nymph still has a couple months left to go before hatching, but it's still a good representative of its species, which was extremely abundant in my sample for a stonefly of this size. It's obvious why the Yakima is known for its Skwala hatch.

Hi Everyone, I want to wish you a happy New Year that is filled with blessing and lots of fish!
At the time of this writing I am only saying this to the two eastern most time zones, but you can accept it as your time comes!:)
