{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Gunpowder or Mossy?

I've never been to Mossy, but I was on the Gunpowder yesterday at Masemore.  I caught an 8" brookie and a brown (I'm still pretty new) and one fallfish.  The water felt really nice and cool through my waders.  The folks at Backwater Angler in Monkton told me that small green hoppers and foam beetles worked the best, I lost both beetles to trout because I stupidly was using a pretty tattered 6x tippet.  

I switched that out and then hooked into a beautiful 14" brown with the hopper and it did a couple of beautiful jumps before I brought her to net.  Another guy I talked to said he caught a half dozen on a 16 caddis, all on the surface.

Super easy wading, although the trails are becoming a little harder to keep track of.  The raspberries on both sides make the hike a little better though.

I'm with Rob on Mossy. Great fishing and the shop folks are awesome. It is a hike though.

I was planning in going to one this weekend. I have gone to the gun powder a few times and have had success, but I have never tried Mossy Creek. Which would dc folks here prefer? Thanks for the help.
