Fly Tying for Beginners Feedback

We still have room for a few more in the Stonefly Tying Class this Saturday from 11:00AM till 2:00 PM Thanks to Jeff for the following feedback after attending the Beginners Tying Class with Jason. Just wanted to drop you guys a quick note thanking you for the tying class on Sat. There is new appreciation by all who attended for what goes into putting a fly together. Jason did a great job of teaching. It was a lot of fun, not particularly difficult, but not without a few challenges and room to improve and grow. This certainly opens up a whole new dimension of …

Gunpowder River 17″ Wild Brown on a Scott G2 3wt Fly Rod

The river is low, clear and flowing at 28 Cfs. Water temp is around 54 F. I started this morning at Masemore without a car in sight. A nice morning for it, in fact any morning in November I’m not scraping the windshield is a nice one. Mike picked up a fish in the line pool on a #18 peacock caddis, I had quite a few follows but no takes on #8 Mickey Finn. During low water, we’re casting a little longer, so 12ft 6 and 7x leaders help to keep one from spooking fish. With a relatively warm week ahead, covering the boulder pools …

Thanksgiving Fly Fishing on the Gunpowder River

A belted Kingfisher showed me a few trout yesterday morning and trilled away without spooking them. With the river at 31 CFs, and the water cooling down to around 50 F, expect to find fish in riffles and edges along flats between York Rd, Bunkerhill, Masemore and above Falls Rd toward the Dam taking small nymphs in the #18-20 range. Watch out for those leaves, they’re fun on a 3wt , but not as much fun as a wild fish.Tiny Olives in the #20-22 range have been spotted most mornings and a nice way to cover water is with a larger #14-16 caddis in front …

Fly Fishing the Gunpowder River During Low Flows…

After a storm that moved fist-sized gravel out of a few feeder creeks and onto Falls Rd, the Gunpowder River is clear and low, at 34 Cfs. Water temps are between 52 and 54 F in the catch and release section and yes, you should be fishing. Clear, low water for the weekend, means that stealth is paramount. Small olives, midge cluster patterns like Renegades and Griffith’s Gnats, and small streamers should work fine. Following is a stream report from Neil and a great question from Bill. Thanks guys! The new web site really works well. I fished the Big Gunpowder this weekend. As you …
