Gunpowder Stream Report and Great Feathers Fly Shop Blog

Fishing has been really productive this week. The fish are active, the weather is prime, and the parking lots have been empty! Nymphing midge pupae has been the ticket underneath lead flies such as pheasant tails, caddis, and hare's ears, while rises have been consistent on Griffiths Gnats and small midge patterns. The flows haven't budged except during rain, but on the bright side, a lot of the leaves being snagged on drifts the last few weeks are far downstream and getting fewer. This is the time of year that slips by so quick, the next thing you know you are shoveling snow and dreaming of soft surface takes. So Carpe diem!
