Here is the (short) story. The end of the month is my birthday. And for my birthday I decided to embark on an adventure. I am going to go up north to Traverse City with my sister, brother-in-law, and 2 nephews (1 almost 1 and the other almost 3).

Have to unwind somehow! I am fishing with the Northern Angler (http://www.thenorthernangler.com/store/pc/home.asp) and couldn't be more excited. I first met these guys in March at the Midwest Fly Fishing expo. Bought some good stuff had some good convo and here I am scheduled to fish with them.

The smart thing to do would be to call them first and see what they recommended to fish for. But.. I didn't. After I talked to Brian up there he mentioned our best bet during that time would be the Hex Hatch. Hex Hatch? Hmm sounds interesting.. So I look it up and I must say I am intrigued. I tell Brian, that I am up for whatever he recommends. My only request was to get me on the water and some chances at fish. Now like a whole lot of fly tyers I consulted "Google" and then got even crazier and went to "You Tube". Through my brief education, I learned how to tie some "hex" flies and went to work. They aren't perfect. In fact, not even close.. but here they are:
