About Yellow Breeches Creek

South-central PA's signature limestone classic. The catch-and-release section near Boiling Springs (Class A wild trout) is the prime water, and the Trico hatch from July through September is genuinely world-class. A mix of stocked and wild fish, year-round fishability thanks to limestone influence, and easy roadside access along Route 174.
