I only have a half day fishing the YB further upstream with no success. But I did talk to a guy in the fly shop in Boiling Springs and he told me that a very effective method was to use large hex dry flies at sunset till dark. I bought a couple from him but ended up heading home before giving them a try.

Hey -- we hit breeches yesterday all day. It was one of those weird days where the weather was absolutely terrific, but the fishing was a bit "off". Weird, but I'm betting everyone can recall days like that.There were some other anglers throughout the C/R section, but far fewer than when we last fished on a Sunday there. We fished everything we had at nearly every depth and just got 5 small brown trout between us....and all were under 10". Mine hit some small soft hackles (the best flies one can use ;)) and her's hit small nymphs. We got one in the "run" below the plunge pool on the traditional zebra midge.We saw nothing rising all day long, and we didn't see anyone else catching fish -- it was just a weird day. The water is a lot higher now too post-storms.I ate 2 whole packages of twinkies, which provided the steady nerves to slam nymphs and bb split shot onto the water!! And also the power to rip them off of the bottom when they hung up every 6 inches!Gene
