Chuck & others:
Several years ago, I tied up some Hexagenia patterns and never used them
until one day on the way back from fishing a river I was passing through a
lake connected to the river and experienced my first ever hexagenia hatch.
Fortunately, I had a couple of yellow deer hair paradrakes with me and
managed to catch coastal & probably sea run (as opposed to westslope)
cutthroat on a dry fly. This happened approx mid June and I'm going back to
the same place next week to fish for sea run bull trout, but if there is a
hatch of hegagenia, the cutthroat will also be a target . The weather here
in BC is crummy and daily temperatures several degrees below the seasonal
average, so I'm not that hopeful.
These flies were tied several years ago, just in case I run into a hatch.
They are all fly box battered by now.
The first pic shows my interpretation of a hex using a "tube bodiz" which
ios really cheating.
The second pic is a paradrake.
The third pic shows a hexagenia tied on an upsde down Swedish dry fly hook;
The fourth pic is a bullet head paradrake which is the one that I had the
success with 7 or 8 years ago.
