    Any of the above Fly Patterns can be adapted to a Hexagenia (Hex Dun) Dry Fly. ~Parnelli

    For reasons I do not pretend to understand, my most productive hex pattern in Maine has been the black Wulff in sizes 10 and 8. This is all black (tail, body, wings, hackle). I have fished it in tandem with many other more realistic (to me, at least) patterns and the Wulff always is best.

    As it is seen from below the surface looking up at night it seems most reasonable as all flies will look black at that time.
