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.

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.

Am I missing something here? I bought a new copy of Caucci and Nastasi's Hatches II and it's missing pages 189 to 220. These pages weren't torn out, they simply aren't there. Can't find anything online that suggests a printing error.

Has anyone else noticed this problem?

No clue about that book but I do know some of the flies in Selective Trout's first edition,1987,no longer exist so they are not in the updated version, 2001. Maybe this also happened to Hatches II. I have read here a lot of the older names for mayflys are no longer used. Just a guess.---HTH---John
