Regs — check current rules before you go
Pennsylvania fishing license required. The Yellow Breeches is managed as Year-Round Trout Stocking (YATS) water — open year-round throughout most of its length. Several designated catch-and-release artificial lures only sections exist, including stretches through Boiling Springs and the Allenberry area — these prime wild trout sections are strictly enforced. Check current Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission (PFBC) regulations for specific section rules. The Boiling Springs area has heavy fishing pressure; respect fellow anglers and maintain proper stream etiquette.
