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.

The fish are here! Home Pool now has an abundance of fish, several have been hooked over the last few days. There have also been several large trout hooked and released in the bogan lately as well. Thanks to all the rain that has fallen on the Miramichi this week the river is at a good level, and more fish are on their way!
