NCCTU Gunpowder River Fly Fishing Outing…

Even with quite a bit of rain this weekend, the river in the catch and release section remained low and clear at 35 Cfs A nice report of a 15″ brown caught yesterday on a #12 goddard caddis was music to our ears.Water temps are still in the low 50’s, most of the leaves are off the trees, and warmer than normal air temps are making for some consistent Fall fishing. The fish are still most active midday, and have not been very pattern specific as the following posts will attest.Renegades sized #16-18, small Olives in the #18-20 range and small unweighted streamers should continue to produce throughout the week. Saturday, I spent some time with a very nice group from NCCTU, (National Capital Chapter of Trout Unlimited) during a club outing to the Gunpowder. The following two posts are from Alfredo, who organized and hosted the outing, and Ed, one of the participants who really understands the beauty of the river and this sport.Thanks to all for a fun filled morning!
