Allenberry Resort To Host Discussion on Yellow Breeches & Stream Bred Trout

[Letort]

Saw on FB that Allenberry next Tuesday is hosting a symposium on "wild" trout in theYellow Breeches.

Cynical part of me is that they discovered that stocking their stretch, after closing it, is too costly.

Dear Letort,

I'm guessing the paying "sports" at Allenberry are not enjoying the 5-star experience that was promised?

That whole stretch has been very stressed with all the sludge, packed in sand and gravel from the dam “improvements” a couple years back - the run was virtually wiped clean of most of the structure just below the lake - I’d show you where the previous rock bottom has had all the gaps filled in courtesy of draining the lake - but it wouldn’t be worth the walk … besides, we’d have to get a day pass - it would be funnier if it weren’t true 😂 blizzard white fly hatches, rising trout, misty evening suphur spinner falls to gorging trout, Caddis multi species bonanza, myriad midges, are all in the “yesteryear” files now.

IT’S SCIENCE! (it says so on that thar interweb) Don’t forget the stream improvements (still don’t know who did them) just before the lake was drained - the whole thing is just one big flop - “science” indeed …

Dear JG63,

You are forgetting about the other science involved, the one which states, if you charge enough, they will come! 😉

While the Yellow Breeches is a storied creek and near and dear to many locals it never really excited me. I fished it several times with a PAFF local in the years after I moved to Harrisburg in 2001. We did well and had fun, but it never really interested me after those first couple trips.

I'm not glad to see a place that many people liked and enjoyed go by the wayside, but I'll admit that I don't mind seeing a destination lodge on a marginal stream poop it's pants in public. 😉

Money does not change science!

Regards,

Tim Murphy 🙂

I would love to hear what Stauffer has to say because I can’t believe for a minute that stretch of the YB or most of the stream for that matter has potential for a wild trout fishery with fish big enough to make it a destination. I’ve caught plenty of wild browns in the upper end with maybe one 10” fish. They are beautiful but small. Sounds like Allenberry’s implementation of day passes has backfired on them.

How many wild trout are in the Breeches now?

Have surveys been done in recent years?

Perhaps, just maybe.... some folks are jumping to conclusions.
