Hex Mayflies
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.

This dun emerged from a mature nymph on my desk. Unfortunately its wings didn't perfectly dry out.
Troutnut is a project started in 2003 by salmonid ecologist Jason "Troutnut" Neuswanger to help anglers and
fly tyers unabashedly embrace the entomological side of the sport. Learn more about Troutnut or

Hello all,
My name is Rowan, I hail from central CT. I am an avid small stream wild brook and brown trout angler, but fish for any species any where. I also tie flies habitually and regularly blog about my fishing experiences: flyfishingcts.blogspot.com

Thank you all for the warm welcome.

Rowan,
Welcome, and if you ever come west to the fine state of Michigan you'll find some fine Brook trout fishing here as well.
There are worse habits than tying flies, now that I think of it...

Michigan is on my wish list.

Howdy Rowan! Michigan welcomes you. There are several of us Michiganders on the web, let us know if you are heading our way and we will point you in the right direction. Okay, maybe not Spence (OldRedBarn), he doesn't like any competition on his holy waters... ;oD

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

Pennsylvania has some of the greatest waters on the planet. Especially in Potter county up around Galeton. That is defiantly GODS country.
Yeah, I'm originally from western PA. My father tells tales from his early days of fishing in the Allegheny National Forrest, catching brookies on a worm with some discarded line, a stick, and a bent nail.

"catching brookies on a worm with some discarded line, a stick, and a bent nail."
Well my early fly tackle was not that rudimentary but I do remember all I had was one rod, one reel, and one or two small fly boxes. It was so much easier to get onto the river when I didn't have to think about what fly boxes to put into my vest or what rod/reels to bring along.
