Yellow Breeches 5/1/23

Dick booked a group trip with me at the Virginia Fly Fishing and Wine Festival.  It is a great group of 8 guys Ben John and I will be guiding Today and Tuesday.  Someone the guys will fish all day and others will be doing half days.  We will still have 4 guys on the water at a time.  We met up at 8am at Precision Fly and Tackle and fished to just about 4pm.  The water is definitely up but very fishable.  The stream has also dropped back into the low 50s.  It only got to the mid 50s today and rain showers and windy conditions set in around 1pm.  We saw a few craneflies but nothing working the surface.  We fished Nymph rigs off indicators and swung big dark streamers.  The group had an awesome time.  We all had trout on the hook and one guy lost to big high teen size trout.  Can't wait to fish with some of the other guys on Tuesday.
