Oh Yea, About the Breeches...

So Zach and I hit up the Yellow Breeches on Sunday. We stopped over at Yellow Breeches Outfitters to get our PA licenses and check the hatch chart they have on the front porch. We crossed the street and hit up the Run where we spotted numerous fish anywhere from 10-24". A few old timers were nymphing the Run with little success. We fished there for a bit without any luck as well before we started into the creek. The report said that Tan Caddis, some Sulphurs, and Terrestrials were working best. We tried all those plus buggers, nymphs, and midges. I ended up pulling in 2 nice Browns (11" and 9") on the midge patterns, one a Griffiths Gnat and the other a size 24 Zebra Midge with a red indicator. I also caught a nice Brown ("10) on an MK Caddis. We stayed in the C&R stretch from the Run at Boiling Springs down to Allenberry Playhouse. Guys all around us were bringing in nice trout and one dude even brought in a hoss that was probably around 20", definitely made his day. Zach was only able to bring in some Fallfish and a River Chub until he threw on, just for shits and giggles, a Green Weenie. On the first cast he had around 6 trout on the chase. For a few casts they just followed until BOOM, a Brownie around 14" took and then BOOM, Zach set the hook like Kevin Van Dam and broke it off. After tying another tippet on and another Green Weenie, he had a trout, I shit you not, around 24" chase it down but fail to take. Another nice 12-14" trout did take though and good ol' Kevin came out again and BOOM broke it off. We had a lot of fun but unfortunately, after paying $60 for an out-of-state license Zach came up troutless. But, we shall return, and soon it will be. Here's one of the trout:
