The last few weeks have been excellent fishing on the Gunpowder. Morning blue winged olive and caddis hatches have offered anglers some great dry fly fishing opportunities. The middle stretches of the catch and release area have offered some of the best action. Long leaders and 7x tippets have been the norm. Fish have liked patterns like parachute olives in a size 20 and small x caddis or henryville specials size 18.
Fishing should hold up through the fall as long as temps stay moderate and weather holds. Flows have been good, around 70 cfs and have been excelent for fishing dry flies.
We have been fishing for rockfish out of the Kent Island in our normal fall haunts. The morning topwater fishing has been great and there are alot of breaking fish to chase through the mid day.
We have had a few nice bluefish mixed in, and some of the rockfish have been nice up to 26".
I expect fishing to be good through mid November, again weather dependent.
