Fly Fishing Baltimore County, Maryland

Thanks to Josh Reider for the stream report and pictures. Looks like double trouble strikes again. Congrats! Hey Theaux, Just got back from fishing on a tributary of the Gunpowder and caught a ton of fish. One of which was a mean looking brown trout. I fished a pheasant tail with a soft hackle as the dropper. Caught two fish at once! Thought I had a monster but was actually a small brookie and a fall fish. Just thought you would want to know, thanks for your recommendation. -Josh R

The river should continue to drop in the next few days. With water levels falling along the Gunpowder, and with air temps becoming downright balmy by mid-week, conditions point to great …
