Yellow Breeches, located in the Southern part of Central Pennsylvania, probably is a very popular trout stream. On any given day, you’ll find many fishing enthusiasts dotted along the stream, where there is never a shortage of trout ready to be fished. A huge re-stocking program supports this river, with fish plentiful for almost its entire length. Fly fishing yellow breeches is exceptional here, and this is a fishing enthusiasts dream no matter what their skill level.

At the end of Yellow Breeches, up around near the Route 223 Bridge, the stream is quite small – only 20 feet wide in some places. The upper portion of the stream can be accessed by the secondary roads that lead off Route 174. This section of river stays the coolest most of the year, except for the area where the “Run” dumps into Yellow Breeches. The “Run” is classified as ‘the’ top-notch fishery where many fishing enthusiasts reap a haul along its banks. This short, narrow stretch of stream is important to Yellow Breeches because this one-mile stretch of water, which ends in the vicinity of Allenberry, provides quality fishing year round. From Allenberry down, Yellow Breeches offers some of the most beautiful water that is often overlooked by many anglers when wanting to go fly fishing yellow breeches.

Hatches on Yellow Breeches are populist and abundant, making dry-fly fishing the best in Pennsylvania. The trout here are not difficult to catch but Yellow Breeches’ fish are still wary and selective so you need to ensure that you lengthen your leaders and lighten up your tippet as the water drops and clears going into summer. Look for feeding lanes and seams created by boulders, which are spots where trout lie and ambush passing food.

Yellow Breeches has a lot of diverse water, bug life, and most importantly, an abundance of trout. This is a great place for anglers of all skill levels for fly fishing yellow breeches, and make it a “must see” on your list of streams to fish when you are next planning you angling outing.
