This Year's Hex Hatch On Fall River

[johnsquires]

Does a winter such as the one we just experienced affect the historical timing of the Hex hatch on the Fall River?
I haven't been for a while. When I used to go for this event, it was typical that the last couple of weeks in June was prime time.

I just had to reschedule my June 30th/July 1 trip to Clearwater Lodge because of a damn work conflict. If anyone wants my room, call Michelle today! it will go fast.

Terry Thomas, retired school teacher, has been fishing Fall River for about 40 years now.

I emailed him about the Hex this year:

"My best guess would be @June 10 through @July 15. Since these insects reside in the muddy bottom of the river, l don't think the high winter flows should have an impact on this hatch. That's just my opinion and I'm not a scientist."

Interesting question John.
Seeing as how more (longer) run-off might be expected this season and mere tenth's of a degree water temp changes effect hatching.......dang good question!

This is about the same time that Lincoln and Lance Gray will be up at Lake Almanor for their Hex hatch.
