Rain on the Gunpowder River is welcome this time of year. The River is flowing at 64 Cfs is 50.5 F and is clear above most of the tributaries throughout the Hereford Area of Gunpowder State Park. Large stonefly nymphs followed by a zebra dropper have resulted in a few fish this week. Streamer fishing is still productive by late afternoon. This downed Sycamore has new suckers along the trunk and base that show it still has some life left. Woody debris left along banks provide greater habitat and protect the banks from erosion.

The Gunpowder River is clear, flowing at 52 CFs and is 51 F. The River is about 10 degrees warmer than it is on average this time of year so expect to find some fish ready to pounce on streamers over the holiday weekend.

The lower River was recently stocked with 500 fresh rainbows at Upper and lower Glencoe Rds, Sparks Rd and Phoenix road. The river is beautiful this time of year but the fish don’t come easily.

The Gunpowder is clear and is flowing at 92 CFs and is 52.7 F. Small caddis and soft chuckles are working fine along the river. Water temps are keeping fish active and the leaves have not been a problem yet. The River is clear and everyone is wholly distracted with football. Now could be a great time to try your luck with a wild fish or two and catch the leaves at their peak. Thnaks to Taylor for the stream report and photo. Thank you for the update. It really helped and we caught some nice fish. Had a lot fish on caddis during mid-day/ …
