Going to go this Wednesday afternoon instead. I rode the bike out to pond of giants area on the C&O yesterday. I am new to fly fishing in general and have opted to start with Tenkara and yesterday was my 2nd time using it. Caught a handful of bluegill. Could you tell me what access area you used at Big Gunpowder? I chose Tenkara for my travels which are mainly by motorcycle as well as bicycle and for car trips like this Wednesday because I am taking a friend as well its a none issue as it fits in a 4runner just fine. I'll monitor the water levels hopefully it is not as much in a few days. I also hear that Big Gunpowder can get crowded especially on the weekends and have found suggestions that Little Falls and Little Gunpowder are a good alternative.

sorry didn't see this, we went saturday, something like 1000-1730.
stopped by backwater and got the scoop, good shop. We had fun but caught very little, seemed like nobody was really catching anything except I ran across a guy as I was leaving and saw him have two takes on a caddis in less than five minutes. I think we had one 12in brown and three or four small brookies landed.
The water was at something like 250cfs, so it was fast for the GP. The 12inch brown was caught on a 3wt single hand spey rig tossing a size 4 weighted sculpin pattern with a medium sink t head, We were using it to get across the stream and fish the other bank, then swing downstream and fish below on the bank I was on. The brookies we caught two on a red copper john using a tenkara rod set up for sighter nymphing. My wife hooked a few on a gummy worm on the tenkara rig then we swapped to a grey mop fly when she lost the worm and had similar luck.

Looking at hitting gunpowder tomorrow, but where do I go? Never been up there and am not familiar with the area, any suggestions?
