Gunpowder Stream Report and Great Feathers Fly Shop Blog

Fisherman were out in force today and we thank all that stopped by the shop or e-mailed their reports. Stoneflies skittered on top took a few fish, as did good old hare's ear wets. One of the more successful Gunpowder reports came from a friend of Great Feathers using his favorite Clouser Minnow.

From Hunting Creek, the fishing was difficult with few fish showing but enough fell to soft hackles and nymphs to make for a nice day.

As for the weekend....well the weatherman is not on our side, so we'll see. Sounds like a good weekend to tie flies for next week and the hatches to come. Stop on in and learn some new patterns or brush up on some old ones....I hope to be at the vise Saturday and Sunday tying Spiders (soft hackles) and flymphs...think the dry stone fly bins are low so I'll be doing some of my simple Gunpowder Stones which, with all due modesty, are still the most productive I've fished in the last 20 years.
Tight Lines,
Mike
