Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: TPFR Day on the Gunpowder

Thanks Eliot, I'm glad you were part of the intrepid 6 today on the Gunpowder.

The water was low and fishing was a slow for everyone today. I don't know the final tally for today, but at least three browns were brought to hand when they started rising, after about 2 o'clock.

The gunpowder is a a nice river, but it does take time to learn how to fish it.

Thanks for coming out. I am always up for plqying on the Gunpowder so feel free to reach out.

Brook,
Thank you so much for organizing this trip. I had a lot of fun even if my results were left to be desired. (It says more about my ability than anything else.) I look forward to fishing with you and everyone else in the future.
All the best,
Eliot

Hey all - it is getting closer and the weather is lookin' good for another Gunpowder Fishing Day on the water with TPFR.
The previous Gunpowder Fishing Days have been quite the hit. So we are doing it again and keeping the same free form approach: show up, meet folks, chew the fat, go ﬁsh, and relax amidst the beautiful surroundings of the Gunpowder. We'll have some of the usual suspects from the Sunday Casting Church will be on hand to help.
If you haven't been to the Gunpowder Falls, this will be a fun way to fish this tailwater of the Pretty Boy Reservoir, just north of Baltimore and put some of those casting skills to use. For more information about Gunpowder Falls see the MD site. see the attached for detailed instructions.
Hope to see you there.

Thanks for the invitation. I'm hoping to join you on Sunday. I've never fished the Gunpowder before so I don't know what to expect. See you then.
