Gunpowder River Stream Report
The Gunpowder River is clear, flowing at 28.9 Cfs and 40.3 degrees F. A soft wet snow and a drop into the lows 30’s Thursday night left the trails on the slippery side. Want to stay upright? We have the new Patagonia wading staffs in-stock and still have a a couple of the Patagonia stud kits that come with a nifty wrench. The wind is making it tougher to fish the black flies and BWO’s above Falls Rd-but small fish were sipping when the River hit 48 degrees mid-week. With some warming in the forecast for Saturday try your luck with zebra midges above jig …

Try small stoneflies in the tail-outs and flats and swing them towards the bank. Log jams are worth a shot-especially with small, traditional streamers like a Mickey Finn stripped slowly downstream.
