about of each stream....
THE LETORT:
Located in South Central Pennsylvania, the Letort is
one of the most famous streams in the country.
As it wonders its way through Cumberland County
and directly through the town of Carlisle, Pennsylvania,
it is said to be where terrestrial fly fishing began with the
help of Vince Marinaro and Charlie Fox.
The Letort brown trout are extremely wise and extremely
skittish.
You will need patience, ability and persistence
to be successful on this stream. The brown trout population continues to increase.
Don't be surprised to see or latch into a 20" trout
or larger.
There are a number of different hatches through out the year.
Black Stoneflies,
Sulphurs, Tricos and Blue Winged Olives hatch during their appropriate times.
Midgets can be fished year round. During the summer months, terrestrials
are
used on a daily basis. You may want to brush up on your streamer techniques.
This is a must for this famous one-of-a-kind limestone stream.
THE
YELLOW BREECHES:
Located
in Boiling Springs,
Pennsylvania, 
the
Yellow Breeches has it's own reputation
for sly and very sensitive wild and stocked trout.
Stocking takes place several times a year. You can fish
from the bank or wade down through the beautiful
country-side. An experience you won't soon forget.
A little known trivia about the stream. It got it's name from the British
Soldiers
during the Revolutionary War. They washed their trousers in the water and
as they dried, they turned yellow, hence; The Yellow Breeches.
The Breeches offers-up yet more treasures from another era.
In the summer of 2005, a local fisherman wading in about hip level water,
looks into the clear stream (looking for fish) and spots a shiny piece of
medal.
He bends into the water, getting soaked and almost dropping it, thinking it was
an old
piece of fencing, realized what he had in just a few seconds. Remarkably, this
local
gentleman pulled out a Confederate Civil War Sword, believed to belong to a
member
of one of Jeb Stewarts Cavalry Scouting Units. It is thought, they crossed
the
Yellow-Breeches on their way to Gettysburg in the summer of
1863.
The Presentation Sword shows a fluted bone grip and the "Keystone" symbol
of
Pennsylvania. The marker was Horstmann of Philadelphia. The uniquely painted
scabbard is engraved with the horse soldiers name. Also, notice the crease in the
scabbard. This was done to hold the sword in during field use,
as the Confederates would use any type of weapon they could muster,
no matter the maker or manufacturer.
Please notice, the in-creditable condition after 142 years in the water.
A truly remarkable find.
It just goes to show, you never know what
you'll come home with, when you go
fishing.
Other then Civil War swords, there is a wide variety and a diverse number of
insects hatching through out the year. The largest being, the Black Caddis.
Others include, Sulphurs, Tricos and
the Tan Winged Caddis. The White Fly
hatch is the most famous and favorite
along with midge fishing. The Yellow
Breeches is also best known for its terrestrial fishing.
THE
BIG SPRING AND THE GREEN SPRING:
Located in
and around Newville, Pennsylvania,
the Big Spring and the Green Spring support a range
of trout and conditions. From the banks, you can see
trout laying in wait. Some 20" and larger.
These trout take great presentation, patience and
persistence. If you can master the 3 "P's", you'll have
your hands
full. The waters are crystal clear with beautiful
surroundings and unique wildlife. The piece and quiet is
almost as good as the fishing.
The hatches are plentiful. Feel confident in using different patterns of
midgets the entire year. Other hatches of the Blue Winged Olive, Tricos and
Stoneflies can do the job and raise the heads of those 20" trout.
THE
FALLING SPRING: Located
in Chambersburg, Pennsylvania,
this limestone trout stream is one of the areas wild trout fisheries.
This is one of the
best known and recognize trout waters in the east.
The constant water temperature makes year-round fishing a great joy.
As the stream meanders through the picturesque country side,
you will be amazed with the excellent stream
conditions.
The hatches are of a wide variety. Caddisflies, Mayflies
and Midges hatch
throughout the year. The summer terrestrial fishing is the
best.
The Falling Spring offers 20" rainbows and larger. The elusive brown trout
with its large population are there, most anglers just don't know it.
A great challenge.
I
hope you will enjoy .
