Fished Merrill 7/16/98 the Hexagenia hatch is in full swing...was a
beautiful evening. Only about a dozen tubers abd a couple boats on the
whole lake.
The Hex begin coming off about 6 PM so there was activity for a long
time before the full hatch right at sundown.. about 9:30.
Caught a few nice cut throats on nymphs and had all kinds of hits on the
extended body type dry fly Hex paterns. lots of hits but difficulty
hooking up with them. Fantastic fun.. lots of bats, night hawks and
swallows show up at the appointed hour. Should continue for another
month or so.
