I went on this trip with my wife and one of my friends. Conditions were cold, but the wind didn't hit while we were there. I lost one, my wife caught one and lost another, my buddy caught four. All very little brown trout as is normal for mortals on the Gunpowder.

I fished the Gunpowder last weekend and found fish rising to parachute adams and a larger stimulator. Some fish also took a rainbow warrior nymph.
I would expect midges and caddis to work but experimentation is always your best friend.
Check the weather forecast. My check shows 7 to 16 mph breezes with short gusts up to 29.

I fished it over the entire weekend two weeks ago. Because of a front and stained water it did not fish well at all. The only interest came from caddis top water, and very seldomly. Droppers received very little interest. Good luck.

I haven't been able to make it to too many TPFR events, but I'm hoping I can make it to the Gunpowder on Saturday. Any recommendations for flies given time of year and conditions?

If you haven't fished the Gunpowder before this would be a good way to fish part of it.Gunpowder Falls is a tailwater fishery that fishes well year-round.
Bunker Hill is in the upper section (catch and release) of the river that extends from Prettyboy Reservoir downstream to Blue Mount Road. Access is easy with trails parallel to the river. As this is a tailwater, the temperatures and water levels are relatively constant, check the USGS gage.
You will need a valid Maryland license and remember that felt-soled wading boots are banned in that State.--
