Yellow Breeches, ***. County, 4/12/08

[PatrickG]

Hello everyone. I've been trolling the forum for a week or two now and thought I'd start off my first post with a stream report.

Fished the Breeches off lehigh drive today for an hour around 1 pm. Beautiful day, not a cloud in the sky, around 50 degrees, fairly windy. Water was cold, forgot my thermometer so I didn't get a temp, and fairly clear. A fair amount of rises were seen due to a lot of caddisflies and mayflies on the surface. Caught two nice browns, one on a #16 BH pheasant tail nymph and the other on a #14 elk hair caddis. Overall a nice day for fishing.

Is that a Matrix Rod?

 

[PatrickG]

yes it is a power matrix 5wt 8'6" mid flex

 

[spectorfly]

Thought I recognized it. I have the 6'6" 2wt full flex. Love it to death.
