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.

Welcome to the forum!

They are both great. Check local conditions and choose based on the latest fishing reports and the type of fishing you like to do.

Btw - in case you didn't know, using all caps is the digital equivalent of shouting in our faces from an inch away with a mouth full of canned anchovies.:)

Contact local shops. I like Highcountry in Jackson Hole, and Trouthunter in Last Chance. See what they offer and compare.
