Gunpowder Fishing Report, 10/16/2014

The subtitle for this report is ‘Bring Your Trico to Work Day’.

Trico Flyfishing Gunpowder
Can you spot the real one?

This trico landed on my glasses while I was out on the Gunpowder before work, then tagged along with me back to the shop.

Despite various changes in flows–from 37cfs to 106cfs to 67cfs to 90something this morning (it’s back to 67 now), fishing has been fantastic.  There are still remnant tricos around, with olives prominent on cloudy days.  If nothing is rising, nymphing zebra midges has been very productive.

It’s definitely fall out there, but don’t give up on the terrestrials just yet.  They are less consistent, but you will still get the occasional aggressive rise.

Good luck!
