Hex Hatch on Back Lake

Finally!! The Hexes are coming off in heavy numbers. The last few days of hot & humid weather has driven up the water temperature on Back Lake which has turned on the Hex hatch.

Unfortunately this hot weather has been producing thunderstorms the last two evenings which drove people off the lake, but I’ve been watching today’s radar, and we might get lucky tonight with some possible unpleasantness happening earlier in the evening. We can only hope it will be over before the prime fishing time.

My Favorite Hex Patterns

Woodduck Heron, Foam Hexagenia, Usual, Cripple Hex and the Sparrow.

Let’s pray for calm waters, many bugs, rising fish and tight lines tonight.

See you on Back Lake soon.
