Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Fished the Gunpowder today

Hi Owen, we fished exclusively dries.  I caught my two on ants.  Ann caught hers on a caddis, I believe.  We also saw lots of midges in the air, a green inchworm (on Kiki's hat) and a blue winged olive.  We tried fishing the green weenie but failed to catch anything.   I believe Kiki said 70 was a nice level.  But I could be mis-remembering, so I'll be interested to hear what the group says, too!

Thanks for the report, Roxanne! And they were even hitting on dries? That's a stellar day for you and Ann. Having a kind and knowledgable pro like Kiki guiding you is a very smart way to start to learn the Gunpowder. 

Blue herons are always a good sign that you're fishing in the right spot. 

I did have a question for the group--I know you've got to "fish it like you find it," but at what cfs is the Gunpowder "perfect" for you?

Best, 

Owen

Fishing with Kiki, catching browns and seeing a great blue heron qualifies as a great day no matter what the river.  Although with great blue herons,they are better seen than heard!

My friend Ann and I fished the Gunpowder today for the first time. guided by Kiki Galvin.  It was a gorgeous day and although the water was "skinny" and only 34-35 cfs, I netted two nice sized  browns.  Maybe  8 and 9 inches?  My friend was lucky, also, netting a little first year brown.

The fish were very active, rising and striking, and other anglers reported success netting fish too.  We also saw a gorgeous blue heron.  Great day, overall.
