Hex Adult Deer Body Dry Fly

Sandfly, Michigan Caddis, Shadflies, whatever you call 'em, the hex mayflies are massive and cause some of the most exciting dry fly action around. Hatching in various parts of the United States, hexes usually emerge on evenings in early July, and the Hex Adult Deer Body Dry Fly is an excellent imitation for these big bugs. Designed to match the large profile of these mayflies, remain durable after many fish, and float well, the Hex Adult Deer Body Dry Fly is tied with a moose tail, deer hair body that's palmered with a stiff hackle, calf hair wings, and a heavily hackled thorax.

Since hex mayflies are so large and often bring the biggest fish to the surface, this isn't the fly to bust out the 5x tippet for; instead, fish it on a stout leader that won't twist from this fly's wind resistance. And not so much a prospecting fly, the Hex Adult Deer Body Dry Fly should be fished whenever the naturals are emerging. From there, a simple drag-free presentation over rising trout is sure to get the job done. This is one of those hatches that will keep you on the water way beyond bedtime, and the Hex Adult Deer Body Dry Fly is a necessary fly anytime that you are looking to match this hatch.
