The Yellow Breeches is still running pretty high and murky, falling slowly at Boiling Springs. It is fishable but use caution and a wading staff if you get in it. There could still be some sulphurs around but it's likely that they've peaked. Look for other cream colored mayflies like Grey Fox/Light Cahills and their spinners spinners flying around dark. Caddis in tan/grey, sizes 16 + or - could also be in the mix. Might see some #14-16 BWO's in the morning too. Hopefully we have a couple of dry days coming with some chance of T-storms, especially Friday/Saturday.

As Always, the Run at Boiling Springs is worth a few casts. Expect company there and elsewhere. Use tiny BWO nymphs and midge larva/pupa patterns and fish slowly and carefully. Might get a few in there on the I.C.S.I. Midge or a tiny F fly. Swear at if you like but the F stands for Fratnik, as in Marjan Fratnik, who invented this simple fly in Slovenia in the early 1980's.

While there are wild trout in the Yellow Breeches, some sections benefit greatly from supplemental stockings. For many years the Yellow Breeches Anglers have done an excellent job of stocking the C&R and other parts of the creek. If you fish the Breeches, you have likely caught some of their fish.
