Supermoon Stream Report

September 27, 2015

The Gunpowder River is flowing at 89 CFs and is 52.5 degrees F. Wild fish have moved into the riffles and are taking small caddis in the #16-18 range, BWO’s sized #18-22 and small weighted streamers. After lots of low water through August and September many lucky anglers arrived on the River this weekend to ideal flows for wading. With football in swing there was a little more room on the river to stretch a long line. Please note: The shop will be open from 2:45 till 5 PM on Monday and closed this Tuesday and Wednesday.
