Caddis in the #18-20 range are just starting at Masemore through Bunkerhill Rd. If you’d like to use larger flies, a few Hendricksons have been spotted …

Gunpowder River Early April Stream Report
We’re enjoying some much needed rain and surface activity along the Gunpowder River. Tiny midges in the #22-26 range are accounting for most of the surface activity. Midge nymphs, emergers and dries are all working, as long as they’re tied up with a little 7X. Water temps are also on the rise, and the river is clear above Blue Mount Rd.
