There were lots of smiling faces during the electroshocking survey earlier in the week. The average fish we saw were close to 11 inches and many believe that we’re witnessing the best group of fish the river has held, in size and number, since 1991.The river is back up around 320 Cfs and should remain high until the next shocking survey scheduled for Tuesday at Bluemount Rd and Wednesday at Glencoe. A 22″ Brown weighing 3 3/4 lb was just one of the big ones released during the survey above Falls Rd. A streambred rainbow measuring 14″ was also notable.The survey at Masemore showed lots …

We’ve fielded numerous calls today regarding Gunpowder river fishing conditions. Currently flow is 320 Cfs, relatively high for those set on wading midstream. Instead, use the excellent trail network along the river and remember that during high water fish move-especially big fish.

Stimulators, Wullfs and Renegades should be in your box now! When in doubt fish an ant… Lots of 10-12″ fish have been reported above Masemore.Great fishing should be shared. Thanks to Aaron and Fred for the following reports. Why not get out and make your own history on the river? 9/07 Message: Thanks for sending me downstream on Monday. I had a beautiful and quiet day fishing during which …
Caddis, ants and hoppers continue to produce.The river is in great shape at around 100 Cfs, clear and 55 F. Masemore through Falls is a great place to start fishing small dries in the morning .Check out the section below Bunker hill for hopper action. Nymphing throughout the day is best accomplished with a #14-16 Prince followed bey a brassie in a #20-22.
