I stopped at the Breeches on my way to Washington Wednesday. I was minding my own business when a couple of Jack Russell terriers started harassing me. That can mean only one thing, Squaretail is nearby!
Dan, Chicky, Lucy, and I chatted for a while and all agreed nothing much was happening at the breeches. He commented on the big brown I had caught on the Yough recently and told me he had to show me something. We drove to an undisclosed location on another stream where Dan put on a clinic in catching big trout on dry flies. Dan caught 3 trout if memory serves me. The two he caught on top were well over 20 inches. I managed two trout, the largest about 19 inches on top. I missed a few very large trout that almost made my heart stop. I didn't leave the stream till after 10 PM, so I reached Washington after midnight. I was tired in my meeting the next day, but it was worth it!
Here are two shots of Dan's largest fish. A brown around 24 inches.
