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.

Thanks Adirman, Im now looking for a copy of this. And yes I loved the quote, its this type of writing that brings some peace and quite in these loud and violent times. I recently purchased John Gierach's Dumb luck and the kindness of strangers, and I loved the book read it in one night. But it reminds of what life used to like, almost Andy Griffith like. I don't know, I wish we could just along, but I don't think its going to happen anytime soon, but there is always hope, and Im hoping!
Mike.
