The Gunpowder is currently flowing at 194 cfs and dropping. The water temp spiked at 62 yesterday and is now back down to its normal 65 degrees. With the high flows streamers and terrestrials have been fishing really well. Throwing a 8-12 size wooly bugger in black or olive has been producing the best results for streamers. For terrestrial fishing ants and small hoppers have been crushing it. You can even run a dry dropper rig to increase your chances with nymph off the back of your dry. For dropper currently we recommend fishing a jigged pheasant tail about 3 feet under your dry. In the evenings starting around 5, we have been seeing lots of caddis and PMD’s. This hatch is primarily happening in the upper rivers towards the Falls rd and Bunker Hill access points. These fish are picky right now but if you are fishing 6x-7x tippet you should be able to get a bunch. If you are looking to get out on the river for one of these spectacular hatches or want to learn to fly fish, call the shop and book a trip. We have availability through the end of July. Tight lines!
