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.

Interested to hear if anyone has any experience fishing Edwards Run near Capon Bridge, West Virginia. I'm planning a trip up to my brother's cabin nearby and thought I'd fish the run a couple days. Just curious if anyone had any insight into the stream.

Thanks.

I've never heard of it. Maybe others have.
