Warning-this report is depressing.
Stopped in to see Rich and get some supplies. He pointed me to some areas near Carlyse PA, not the Breeches. I fished Letort and Boiling Springs.
Bottom line, water was pretty skinny except in a few spots. I failed to read the Orvis report and left my emerger box at home. I spotted several nice sized fish in at the end of some of the deeper troughs, not really pools. There was a bunch of lettuce all over the river and ended up tramping on a the biggest fish I saw as he ran away from my clod hopping out of the lettuce patch.
I did manage to catch one 4 incher. He flew off as I brought him to hand.
I ended up spending about 2 hours hiding behind a tree Czech nymph style bouncing every nymph I had in my box at the trout in this 4*8 foot area. I did get one take on my personally tied stone fly nymph but I did not set properly. Somewhat gratifying.
The creeks were small and tight, my 9ft 5 wt was way to big resulting in a perfect excuse to pick up a new rod.
Thanks for the advice on where to go.
I think I may stick to trout fishing out west since I travel there frequently and stick to the Potomac for the variety of sunnies, bass, gar, etc., etc. Being the lazy fisherman that I am, driving 2 hours to chase trout might be worth it for now until I get better.
Thanks again to the guidance.
