Backwater Angler Celebrates 22 Years

We quietly celebrated our 22nd Shop Birthday last month! Thanks to all, both old and new that have helped us reach this milestone! We could not have been successful without your support and loyalty.

Fishing continues to improve on the Gunpowder as flows have been around the 60 Cfs range of late and river water temps are swinging upwards towards the magic #. Nymphing has been consistent with stonefly and attractor patterns in the #18-20 range. If the wind dies down try some tiny BWO’s between Masemore and Bunkerhill or a few black flies above Falls. A Bald Eagle sited well downstream of Corbett Rd. this morning was flapping merrily along with a fresh rainbow from last month’s stocking in its talons. May we all be so lucky this spring to connect and enjoy the bounty the Gunpowder River provides!

Please note: We will be closed April 2-7 and will reopen on Saturday the 8th. We will be closed the 9-12th and will reopen on the 13th.
