Sulphurs and Caddis are still hatching along the Gunpowder, but there are other opportunities for dry fly fishing during the day. Hatches of BWOs, Sulphurs, and caddis may be concentrated very early or very late, so if fishing midday consider throwing terrestrial patterns. A recent shipment from Rainys includes a variety  of hoppers, beetles and ants that are proven patterns on the Gunpowder. The brown pictured above fell for a size twelve rubber legged foam beetle fished against the bank. In a few hours, from noon to four, on a bright day I landed eight browns on the same fly.  The browns were quick to inspect anything dropping into the water near overhanging trees, undercut banks or logjams, so be sure to get a good drift the first time. Larger patterns may get more refusals, but are easy to see and tend to catch the bigger fish. Smaller terrestrials sized 18-24, such as flying ants and smaller flying beetles are also causing the fish to rise in good numbers throughout the Catch and Release sections.
