Sotahex

     The Sotahex, my variation of the hex nymph that imitates the Hexagenia mayfly.  This fly is very abundant in many Great Lakes rivers including Bois Brule river.  I have used other imitations like the spring's wiggler with good success to imitate the Hexagenia but I have high hopes for this more ornate imitation to be at least as productive.  This is a one hook variation of the wiggle hex I saw in Matt Supinski's book Steelhead Dreams.
