On Sunday afternoon (6/20) Joe, Sam and I took a quick trip to the Manistee after reports of the possibility of a Hex drop. We left at about 2:30 and were fishing before 6:00. We each hooked a number of small browns and brooks prior to dusk throwing both streamers and caddis dries.
At 10:00 a light Hex drop occurred and a moderate feed began. Joe hooked, landed and released a 16+” brown – his largest stream trout to-date. It turned out to be an extremely enjoyable trip – and we may try one more night if Buck decides he’s up to it. Pictures Here
Congrats to Joe on breaking his Hex Hex. I had always been told to stay clear of any trout fishing trip with Joe because it would mean violent thunderstorms, steady rains, and zero fish for everyone with him.
