Yellow Breeches, Cumberland Co., 4/5/22

[fritz]

Got started about 1P and fished til about 6P. Overcast with a bit of drizzle. Air temp in low 50s. Couldn't find my thermometer so no WT to report.

Olives were going as soon as I started. Started with a size 18 olive wet which produced so I just stuck with that. About 2P Hendricksons started to show. The two hatches overlapped for about a half hour. About 3P it was all Hendricksons so I finished the day with a dark and light Hendrickson wet combo. They were on one or the other. Pretty steady til about 5:30P or so and then everything pretty much shut down.

Didn't touch a stocked trout. Everything I landed or had on were wild browns. That's not a complaint.

I'll wait for him to confirm, but it certainly sounds like it. I really miss fishing along Pine Rd. It's been beaten to death, but man, C&R All Tackle regs with no stocking OR a slot limit there and no stocking, and that place would flourish even more. I used to live nearby and understand the politics there very well.

Catch a lot of wild browns in the upper Breeches but none of any size. Suspect they get culled by the meat fishermen.

Exactly.
