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 dun emerged from a mature nymph on my desk. Unfortunately its wings didn't perfectly dry out.

New here, Northwest Pa. Is my home waters, caught my first Trout on a fly in 1966 and been at it ever since. Made a trip to Alaska last summer and fished the Kenai. Caught my first Dolly and took a float plane out of Skagway and caught my first salmon. My son guided out of Bozeman for a short time so got to fish some in Montana. Will
