I am hoping to fish the White Fly hatch on Yellow Breeches this year. Any pearls of wisdom on this would be greatly appreciated.

The water temperature on the YB have been very high. Here is a link to the reports from the YB fly shop:

YB stream report

Plus they are draining Children's Lake. I'm not sure how that will effect the temps.
 
Expect a crowd and get there early!
 
-head lamp
-bring flies you can see in the dark
-hatch has been over around 9PM
-watch for herons trying to steal your hooked fish
 
I got a water temp of 69 degrees on Friday afternoon. This was well above the special reg area in a section where I expect to find colder water.

Fortunately, the front passing over today should help with conditions.
