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.

Thanks Mike. I'd been toying with going up to north western Maine to fish the Maggalloway and Rapid rivers. Both pretty much the last bastion of really big wild brook trout in the US. Mid May is prime time, just after ME ice out. But mid May is prime dry fly time on the Delaware and none of my close friends were willing to give up one week to go off to Maine.
