Fly Fishing NH's Connecticut Lakes Region

Not Yet …

Where are the hexes? Not at Back Lake yet, that’s for sure … Given our weather over the last few days, it’s no surprise either. Cool, windy, and rainy are not the ingredients we need to kick off a Hexagenia hatch. We’re looking for hot and humid weather, and that simply hasn’t happened yet.

We saw one lonely hex escape the lake last night, with almost no rising fish, indicating that there’s not enough hexagenias coming off to get the fish interested. Tonight, I was still seeing a fair amount of brown drakes around the lodge, so we still have that hatch going on at least.

Stay tuned, and watch the weather …
