Yellow Breeches/Mountain Creek, 09/15/26

It was a fun day with Chris and much better weather. We tried this in the spring when presumed rain showers turned into torrential downpours. We started at 8AM and it was a chilly 46 degrees. By noon it was around 73 under sunny skies. Both the Yellow Breeches & Mountain Creek streams are low and clear. They are both 55 to 60 degrees in temperature. Not much was hatching, but a few trout were rising. Pretty easy day for me since Chris in a guide/instructor for Project Healing waters. He just wanted to see new water to visit. We switched off and on between nymphs and dry/droppers. It was time consuming to do the changes so we both decided to roll with dry/droppers. The fishing was a challenge with the low and clear water. Still, Chris missed several and he landed a couple of small browns on both streams.
