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.

Monster bow i was lucky enough to land on our afternoon floating the Chimeuin River. an absolute beauty.

The brown is quite skinny. The first rainbow is a nice fish but by no means "huge". Maybe 22", possibly 23". The last fish is a big rainbow, looks to be pushing 25" or 26".
