Winding Down

It’s inevitable. The hex hatch begins … and then it ends.

We’re nearly two weeks (12 days now) in to the annual Hexagenia hatch at Back Lake, and the hatching activity unfortunately appears to be winding down. It’s about the right timeline, as the hex hatch is typically a two-week event, more or less. That’s only half the story, though, as it relates to the hex hatch. The trout and bass have still been active the last few evenings, taking the dwindling supply of hexes that are still available.
