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.

I've been taking tons of Alaska pictures. These are about the first half of what I've got ready to put online. I'll do the next half ASAP, but not today.

These are from a mixture of two different grayling streams, one big pike swamp, and a bus tour through Denali National Park.
