The Double Jointed Hex is a highly animated dry fly designed to imitate the giant Hexagenia limbata mayfly in its adult stage, with an added twist—literally. Featuring a segmented, double-jointed extended body, this pattern provides unmatched movement and realism on the water. The articulated abdomen subtly wiggles with the slightest current or twitch, imitating the delicate drifting motion of a freshly emerged hex dun struggling to take flight.
Built for big fish and big hatches, the Double Jointed Hex is a standout during late evening feeding frenzies when trophy trout cruise the surface. Its detailed body profile, realistic proportions, and high-floating parachute hackle make it a lethal option for lakes, slow rivers, and spring-fed backwaters where Hexagenia are abundant. The natural brown and tan tones match adult mayflies perfectly, while the jointed body increases strike triggers on finicky fish.
Best for:
- Peak Hex hatches in lakes and stillwaters
- Trophy trout during post-sunset rises
- Selective fish in calm or glassy conditions
📌 Pro Tip: Give this fly a soft twitch just before the end of your drift—the subtle articulation in the body often turns a follower into a taker.
