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.

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.

Re: Test

Saw this fish rising in a tailout as we drifted downstream, dropped anchor in pretty swift, but shallow, water. Waded into position andon the second cast this 16" brown ate the fly.

Nice brown on #14 Rusty spinner. I saw fish rising while I was in the rower's seat of my Hyde but was too lazy to cast and to be frank just didn't think it was a goood fish. I pointed it out to my buddy and the fish ate on the second, or third cast, and it was a beauty. So much for what I know about rise forms!

From my driveway. I wish I'd taken a shorter exposure at higher sensitivity to capture more detail. This is one in which the colors were moving around so fast that the long exposure blurred out some magnificent patterns.
