Yellow Breeches, Cumberland Co., 9/19/16

Breeches is in much better condition now than it's been for much of the last several weeks when water temps often went over 70.

We had a cold rain last night that brought the water level up nicely (141 cfs this afternoon). Water temp just above the confluence with The Run this afternoon was 65 degrees and I got 61 in the upper section of the stream, which was several degrees cooler than the last time I checked a few days ago.


I fished briefly in the upper section: the fishing was tough and my terrestrials didn't tempt as many fish as I had expected considering the better conditions (although there were many fish visible). All the fish I caught and saw were wild.

No hatch activity and no surface feeding.

Thanks Dave for the report. With even more rain, I'm sure things will be improving.

Rising fish but you need to break the code. Terrestrials have been the ticket for me

I fished at Allenberry Sun. 9/18 and landed 3 nice fish in the hour I fished, all on wooly buggers. Tried hoppers, beetles, and ants with no takers.
