The river is in great shape. It is clear and at 120 Cfs. Dave just stopped in to report seeing a hundred and fifty rises in about an hour and a half yesterday at Masemore. He’s been fishing the river for 25 years and is out today enjoying the sunshine. Even cloudy days have been very productive and I can’t think of reason why YOU should not be fishing the Gunpowder-unless you ‘re primed to hear about how many fish your buddy caught this week, I’d drop everything and get up here.
The following are two more reports from lucky anglers from this past weekend-Thanks to Bill and Paul…
Message: Theaux – Lots of sulphurs in at least three sizes/colors below Falls Rd on Sunday. Fish were taking them, but were very selective; they seemed to key on the flies that were fluttering around, and ignored the ones that were just floating by. There were #14 light tan ones with fat bodies, #16 light yellow ones with thin bodies, and little #18-20’s that were almost white.
Message: Fishing the Upper Gunpowder this afternoon 5/23 from 4 to 5:30. Eight fish between us. Caught all on Sulfur Emergers size 14. Nice healthy fish from 10 to 14 inches. Saw a few Sulfurs coming off the water but no real hatch. Left at the first rain since we had the baby with us.
