Spot Check continued from page 47
At first you will start to see rings here and there. Then you'll notice some bugs in the air and the gulping will get more intense. By dark the entire river will be covered in bugs and spent shucks and you won't be able to distinguish your fly from the naturals. There's typically a sweet spot window that lasts anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour when the fish are most active and you can see your fly easily. By the end of the night there will sometimes be so many flies on the water you can try just throwing yours out, lift when you hear a gulp and hope for the best. Eventually the fish gorge on so many flies they get full and stop eating. If you get a couple fish, it's a good session, but I assure you the size and quality of the fish will blow your mind. Fishing the Hex hatch is unreal! It's an experience all fly fishers should experience at some point.
