Hope you got my message about where the Hex are hatching Ed. There were a few on the mainstream Saturday night as well. The ole GBHPTN did it is magic for me once again, 18 1/2 bow and a 20 inch Brookie Saturday evening.

It rained most of the afternoon Saturday, and I wasn't sure about going out. Brad left me a message - he had a john boat ready to go, and only a few nights left to fish due to school and building a house and trying to earn a living in there... We met up in the drizzle, launched the boat to clearing skies (though it was cooling down). Motored up river about 1/2 an hour, saw drakes and hex floating by on the river, but only a few small feeders (except for an excited one that Brad wanted to chase from the night before). We tied off at a bend, he chased the feeder, and I waded upstream a ways. About 9:30, temp continued to drop, fog rolled in, and mosquitoes left. I am convinced that the mosquitoes have a huge play in whether hex fishing will be any good. We waited it out until about 10:45 or so, and the water was calm as can be (except for 2 ducks who started fighting and scared the crap out of both of us). We called it a night and motored back to the launch. No success on the hex, but enjoyable to spend time with Brad again and hear about his latest ventures.
