The Gunpowder river is now dropping from a high of 330 Cfs last night to more fishable 276 CFs.The river is clear, 54 F in the catch and release area and will continue to drop through the next few days. Before the heavy rain started yesterday, lots of fish were rising to #18-20 Blue Winged Olives in the flats. Anglers returning From Falls Rd this morning reported that the Olives were just starting as they left the river. Cloudy cool, days are not to be missed if one is ready for some excellent dry fly fishing along the Gunpowder. Caddis and Caddis emergers, in the …

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 Fall stocking has been underway since the beginning of October! Now that the Put and Take area of the Gunpowder river, (from the Gas line between Corbett Rd and Upper Glencoe through Phoenix Rd) has some new residents it’s time to enjoy some beautiful weather and remarkably easy fly fishing and catching in Northern Baltimore County.

Bright streamers and heavy nymphs will do the trick. …

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 …

This morning Alex McCrickard stopped in after a productive morning fishing the Gunpowder river with large nymphs and small streamers at 249 Cfs. Alex, now a freshman at The University of the South, sent along some photos and a quick report after fly fishing the Elk River, Tenessee in between classes at Sewanee. What’s going on? It’s pretty crazy here but I’ve been trying to balance the work load with the social life. That’s an impressive fish Jeffs’ client caught. I have managed to get out on the Elk river twice since I’ve been here at Sewanee. It’s a tailwater that’s about 30 minutes from …
