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 is the first of it's family I've seen, collected from a tiny, fishless stream in the Cascades. The three species of this genus all live in the Northwest and are predators that primarily eat stonefly nymphs Merritt R.W., Cummins, K.W., and Berg, M.B. (2019).
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
support the project for an enhanced experience here.

Hi everyone my name is Jack and I am new to this forum. I am glad to be apart of this great forum. To start things off right. I cam across this article the other day about a great non-profit organization called Project Healing Waters. They take veterans and active military members out fly fishing to help with their physical and emotional rehabilitation. I thought it was great article and a great organization so I figured I would share it with all of you here it is.

When asked what I just caught that monster on I showed him. He put on his magnifiers and said, "I can't believe they can see that."
