Anglers fishing the Gunpowder river have experienced low and clear water throughout the catch and release section. At Falls road the river is flowing at 35cfs and water temperatures are in the 50 to 55 degree range. At Glencoe road the river is flowing at 75cfs and water temperatures are around 60 degrees. Stealth and a careful approach is absolutely necessary when fishing in these low flow conditions. Ten to twelve foot leaders tapered to 6x and 7x have been the ticket. We have seen lots of cream and black bodied midges throughout the mornings. The browns have been keying in on size #20-24 griffiths gnats and I-Can-See-It midges. Small tan and brown bodied caddis have been hatching throughout the middle hours of the day. A size #18 tan elk hair caddis has been producing lots of fish throughout the riffles and moving water. Keep an eye out for trico mayflies as they will soon start hatching out in the mornings throughout the catch and release section. Terrestrials such as ants, beetles, hoppers, and crickets have been enticing takes during the heat of the day. A size # 16 black bodied parachute ant fished close to the bank in the shade is a great way to fool trout. Nymphing has also been productive in the deeper holes and bends. A size #14 to 16 bead head micro mayfly nymph with a size # 22 black zebra midge dropper has been very effective. Anglers looking for more water should fish below Blue Mont road and the confluence of Little Falls. Swinging larger wooly buggers and zonkers along the banks and log jams has moved some nice fish.
