Much needed rain has arrived this week and the wind has finally knocked down. The Gunpowder River is flowing at an ideal 94.9 CFs and is clear with a little greenish tint. Water temps have been hovering around is 50.9 F and with higher flows will not likely warm up much throughout the day. Fishing streamers? Tossing a mix of zonkers and wooly buggers towards the wood is a good bet. For die hard nymphers, green weenies and unweighted pheasant tails are working fine. If your making the trek up to the dam get ready for midges and bring some 7x. The trails are in great shape so please limit your wading to protect the redds and be extra careful and mindful around riffles and tailouts.
The shop will be open this week on Friday and Saturday from 10 till 3.Stop in and spend $100 and get a free Backwater Angler hat while supplies last.
