Leafy water and colorful trout on the Gunpowder

The Gunpowder is running cold starting at 48 degrees at the start of the day, the level is 38 cfs and clear.

October on the Gunpowder

The Gunpowder is gin clear, 35.7 cfs and starting the day at 49 degrees. Beautiful autumn colors and vibrant trout abound on the Gunpowder. The fishing has been good as normal for this time of year. Many are reporting observing strong caddis hatches, tan size 18, in the late afternoon through the evening that are bringing up lots of fish. Terrestrials and midges have also been working great. A Griffiths gnat size 20-24 is a super go-to at this time of year in the flat pools where fish are sipping.
