Over the last couple of days, flows on the Gunpowder eased down to just under 200cfs, providing 3 or 4 days with marginally fishable or better conditions. Fishing was generally fairly slow, with caddis patterns raising the occasional fish most of the day. However, there were sporadic sulfur hatches that led to some decent dry fly action, and I heard of (but didn’t personally see) some fairly impressive spinner falls in the evening. A size 14 parachute sulfur pattern drew some aggressive takes during the hatches I witnessed…
Then this happened:
If we are lucky, the Gunpowder might be fishable by the end of next week. This has been a frustrating spring.
