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).

I need two new fly lines. First, I need a floating 8 or 9 weight for my one handed steelhead rod- I primarily fish an indicator/nymph rig.
I also need a new 5 or 6 weight floating line, with a weight forward taper, or anything that will serve as my main floating line. I'd like to trade someone, if they have something like that.
I have tons of never used sinking lines I acquired when I somehow ended up with the inventory of a local flyshop that closed unexpectedly (I also have tons of flies and other stuff if that works better for you).
I'll offer two sinking lines (hopefully I'll have the weights you ask for) for one floating line. I may have some sink tip lines as well.
PM me and let me know what you'd be interested in trading and I'll see if I have it.
Cheers!
Dale
