I had three hours, mid-day, to fish the Breeches on Saturday (11:30 AM to 2:30 PM).

It was a pretty nice day. Warm, and over-cast, with a manageable breeze. I didn't use a thermometer, but was wet-wading and the water was cold on my legs, and very skinny and clear. They were taking something from the surface, but I couldn't tell what, and they seemed pretty happy with a size 12 Dave's Cricket anyway, so I didn't spend too much time trying to figure it.

In all, I brought 8 browns to hand, had 1 break me off, and missed a few takes. Those brought to hand included: 1 just over 16 inches, 1 just under 16, and the rest ranging from 11 -14. This section is not stocked, so these are stream-bread browns.

Eight nice trout in three hours, with minimal collateral damage, i.e., lost flies and tippet, so I will count it as an excellent day. No pictures, yet, because I don't have the guts to take my digital camera with me yet, so the film must be developed.

This is my first report, so I hope it's ok.
