Fireworks and Hex
Great way to start off the holiday weekend...
Trent with a Hex Brown Trout.
Picture Perfect
A picture and a smile is worth a thousand word...

The Hex are going peak on the Au Sable right now and just getting heavy on the Upper Manistee.
Good luck getting out and catching a toad. Above is a Jason with a football shaped Brown.

Night of the Hex DVD

Michigan Hex Hatch
Don't give up yet! There are still bugs on the Au Sable and the Manistee River. Here's a nice fish taken on the Au Sable last night. Bugs are a bit patchy throughout the state but, BIG fish are still looking up! We'll probably have Hex through next weekend.
Pure Michigan HEX
This is classic! Why do we live in Michigan...to catch trophy Brown Trout!
Now that’s a HEX hatch!
A good customer of ours set me some photos of a HEX hatch the encountered in Iowa this past week during his sons baseball game. I think the fish might have some problems distiquishing between your fly and a real bug. The best part about it...the game continued like there was nothing going on!!!! He said you couldn't see the score board because it was covered in HEX.
