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.

Two major forks of this grayling stream come together in this pretty pool. From the Chena River in Alaska

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.

Friday evening was great. Landed 8 browns up to 13" - missed several more including a nice 18" fish. All released. Found a pool with stocked rainbows and put on an egg pattern. Took home 6 for the freezer.

Saturday was much different - windy and river was really crowded. Landed only 3 browns. Missed several nice fish on a streamer. Good hatch of #16 Blue Quills and #20 BWO started around lunch time. Only saw a single fish on top. Wind made it hard to get a single decent cast.

Called it a day...
