I quickly brought three to the net in one of my favorite spots. Meanwhile CC worked downstream with a beetle and zebra midge dropper. The beetle served as more of an indicator than a fly with only a few fish rising throughout the afternoon. Again proving he is the master of the Breaches, he landed a dozen or so fish with 6 coming from the same general spot. The weather was perfect with temperatures in the low to mid 80s and bright sun. While we could have wet waded, I opted for waders to keep me in the water as long as possible. The brief video below depicts the final phase of a tangle with a Yellow Breeches rainbow trout. Tight Lines! MikeyDFishing!

A warm dry end of summer meant low water and fish holding in groups in the Yellow Breeches. CC and I made good use of the last official weekend of summer to find tight lines in the Yellow Breeches near the Allenberry resort. While water temps remained optimal, low water forced fish to find cover and food sources in deeper holes. I continued where I left off in June by retrieving a bead head wooly bugger. I worked to keep the streamer as close to the gravel bottom as possible. Short twitches produced consistent results early.
