Tricos, Caddis and Streamers along the Gunpowder River.

After a bit of rain in the area, the Gunpowder is clear, 56 F and is flowing at 70 Cfs. Tricos are still part of the morning mix and are heaviest from Masemore upstream through the Falls Rd access points. By mid-morning, caddis in the #16 to 18 range are coming off in riffles throughout the catch and release area. If it warms up a bit over the weekend, plan on fishing the last of the hoppers in the meadow stretch between Bunkerhill and York Road. Small streamers are always a good bet this time of year-especially in the shallow flats full of leaf litter and branches where the young of the year hide from the fish we’d all like to catch.

Thanks to Bob R. for the following stream report,

Hey T,

Didn’t make it to shop yesterday. Arrived at the river at 11:30 (I live 4 hours drive away.) and thought it better to get right down to the water. The tricos I had been hoping for were long gone for the morning, but there was a rise here, a splash there and pop now and then in water as a thin as an anorexic starlet. I rigged up a 14 foot leader with a 7x tippet and tied on a tiny bwo, which got one trout’s attention but I noticed a green caddis coming off. That and the splashy rises was enough for me to switch to a #20 Henryville Special. The trout were looking up from 11:30 until around 1:30 and the little caddis imitation caught their attention. For some reason though, they slapped at it, splashed at it and did everything but get hooked. For every fish I released there were three that I missed. Los of action. By 1:30 I took six fish. One measured 13, perhaps 14 inches and had a honey-colored belly. another was a true 10 inches with the others smaller.

From 1:30 to 3:00 the action slowed and I switched to a Prince nymph, figuring it looked like a caddis pupae. No wright, fishing upstream, I took 3 more fish, one 12″ really surprised me as it was lying in an inch of water or so it seemed.

Great Day.

Thanks for getting me off my ass and back on the water.

Bob

We have two titles from Bob R in the shop describing fishing in Western Maine and fishing an unnamed stream and river populated by faeries.

SAGE ZXL Fly Rod Review

The following is a review of the SAGE ZXL Fly Rod by Terry Newendorp. Thanks Terry!

The smoothness and lightness of this rod belies the strength it has to both get your heavy, weighted nymph rig out there, and to land that 23 incher once you’ve hooked it. I have used the Sages since the SP and then the SLT series, and never thought there would be any good reason to add a new one to my inventory – but this one is so wonderful in your hand and so responsive with either size 22 dry or a nymph rig, and so powerful in the butt to fight the fish, that it really is a winner. (And my really big Colorado brookie was only one of many _21″ trout that were hooked and landed with my 5 wt 9′ version of this rod.)

Cape Cod Fly Fishing Report from a Kennedy…

Thanks to Brian Kennedy for the fly fishing report and photo from the Cape.

Nice Stripe-ah

Theaux, Rocky and Jason:
Richard Manning, (another friend of the store) and I took our annual trip up to Cape Cod in June this year to fish for stripers (as they call rockfish up there) and blues. I caught this beautiful 36” striper on a 9 weight using an orange squid fly. We were fishing in a rip south of Harwich, Mass. which has the advantage of receiving both ocean and sound tides. That day in June there were lots of bait and also lots of hungry fish moving through the rip, both stripers and blues. The one in the picture was feeling particularly strong as he had me well down into the backing before I finally turned and landed him. Freshwater fishing on the Cape is not as well known as the saltwater fishery, but in addition to the saltwater action, I landed some nice sized smallmouth and largemouth bass in a small kettle pond up there as well. I look forward to seeing you in the store
soon.

Best,

Brian Kennedy

Cost is $100 per person and includes the use of gear. Class size is limited to 4 and pre-registration is required.

Trico Hours at Backwater Angler Extended…We’re open at 8:00 AM Saturdays and Sundays through September

The Gunpowder river is flowing at 68 CFs is 56 F and is gin clear. I walked upstream on the trail Monday evening after work and found dozens of fish rising to a steady midge hatch. Pushing through the big ferns and spiderwebs that framed the overgrown trail, I passed only two other anglers before finding dozens of fish taking midges with abandon. The Herons were conspicuously absent. A lone Kingfisher quietly weaved and bobbed through the Sycamores. Moving quickly upstream, the bird, intent on taking everything in, shared only a trill that bounced through the mist that softens the big boulders and jams this time of year. Leaves littering the trail and coloring the river tell me that Summer is fleeting, so, consider spending a little time outside along the river…you could be doing far worse thing with your time.
Getting an earlier start? Jason du Pont just dropped some Trico patterns that have proven to be effective along the Gunpowder River.
Please stop by the shop the next time you’re up on the river and give’em a look.

Clouds Of Tricos On The Gunpowder River, Maryland

The Trico Mayflies are still hatching in big numbers on the Gunpowder despite making their first appearance over a month ago. Recent reports from anglers and guides mention pods of steadily, rising trout during mid morning hours throughout numerous stretches of river. While many recent guide trips have resulted in steady action and great days on the water, the fishing is far from easy.

Commonly known as the Angler’s Curse, tricos are not a favorite hatch amongst all anglers, due the tiny size and big numbers of the adults. Few anglers can deny how eager the trout are to rise to these bugs once they witness a heavy hatch for themselves. Anglers willing to nymph flies in the 20-26 range can catch trout under the surface well into the middle of the day, probably due to the thousands of spinners and emergers washing for miles down river. Thousands of mayflies? Watch the latest video post and try counting them if you can.

2008 Gunpowder River Electrofishing Survey

Please join the Backwater Angler Staff and DNR Fisheries Biologists for the Annual electroshocking survey on the Gunpowder River.

The following schedule will be kept firm. The only exceptions will be if electrofishing conditions are unacceptable, (ie. Flooding,muddy water, or torrential rain). Volunteers should check with me, (cgougeon@dnr.state.md.us) at work, (410) 442-2080 or on my cell phone, (410) 570-5718, a day or two prior to the work date to confirm that the survey date will go as planned. All meeting times will be at 9:45 A.M. at the planned meeting location. Bring chest high waders if you plan to assist us in the stream. Those not able to assist with the electrofishing are very welcome to attend and observe from the bank. Sampling usually extends to about 3:00 P.M. each day. If you plan to assist in the electrofishing activity, please call or email to confirm the dates that you plan to attend. Confirmations will allow us to ensure enough help will be available each sample date.

Date Station Meeting Location
09/22/08 Dam/Falls Road Falls Rd. At upper parking lot
09/23/08 Masemore Road Masemore Rd. parking lot
09/24/08 Bluemount Rd. Hiker/biker trail at Bluemount Rd.
