A bit dated from a month ago, but I always find the stories of nature on crack fascinating. Just over a month ago, radar in Wisconsin picked up a disturbance. This turned out to be a ‘massive’ (billions of insects) Hex hatch (Hexagenia Bilineata), which rose on the Mississippi River and moved across Wisconsin, Iowa and Minnesota. Hex Mayfly are much revered by fly fishers because they are big insects and trout love them at last light.

Can’t they tune that radar to show where the fish are too? WOW what a hatch, quite fantastic. 🙂

Yes indeed! It would be equally fascinating to see those fish managing that much food.
