Upper: Arrived around 7:30 am at the nature preserve to a foggy and drizzle day and fished the small water for about 90 minutes. I got a couple small 4"ish gorgeous brookies on a #14 bead head flashback pheasant tail. Drove down to the Mill\Park (sorry can't remember the name it started with a B) and caught the skunk.

Middle: arrived at Middletown Park about 12:30. I got a few stocked browns on a size 10 52 Buick with a size 18 head hares ear dropper. Water level was normal with slight color.
Stopped at Allenberry and fished at the resort and above the Mill pond. I got several stocked browns 8-14" on the 52 Buick Hares ear combo, most on the hares ear. I know the work the state did disrupted everything, but it sure looks nice. I finished up the day at the racetrack with the Buick and hare's ear and continued to catch stocked brown trout.

It was a cool damp day, I believe the high was 56. I didn't take the water temp but it was cold. Lots of tiny midges hatching and what I believe was tan Caddis (not many).

Do you have any photos of the brookies? Any evidence of natural repro?

I don't, I rarely take fish pictures unless it's extraordinary. I will be back that way in the next few weeks and will grab a photo. I would be shocked to learn they were stocked but hey I've been shocked before.

The area he is talking about is upstream of the allenberry and does have natural reproduction of brookies in a tributary of the breeches. I have caught good looking brook trout in the breeches higher up after mountain creek.
