Were fly fishing for trout a religion, we would be in the midst of the high holy days in Michigan.
It’s the Hex hatch, the time of years when the biggest bugs emerge, bringing out the biggest trout. Anglers flock to those streams with notable hatches of Hexagenia limbata, the biggest mayflies in these parts, as though they were making a pilgrimage. It is the highlight of the season for dry fly fishing, when many anglers have their best chance of catching their fish of the year. Or maybe even their lifetime.
