For those checking in often, sorry that I have not posted updates for the last month. Even us fishing guides get consumed with life on occasion, and I have been in the process of renovating a 150 year old farm house into my home. It has consumed nearly all of my free time outside of fishing. Feel free to shoot mean a call or e-mail anytime you want to talk fishing.
Of course, we have been fishing many trips over the course of the fall on the Chesapeake Bay and Gunpowder River. I have beeen making efforts all this month to get in some striper fishing in the ocean, hoping for some more of the great success we had last year. The weather, however has not been helping our cause. I am sitting in Ocean City , MD now in 30 kt winds and torrential rain which is managing to wipe out several more fishing days here on the Maryland coast.
The rain has been good for the fishing and water flows on the Gunpowder River. With Prettyboy Reservoir full, we can figure on good constant water flows on the Gunpowder. This always makes for more consistent fishing. Favorite winter techniques are nymphing with dropper rigs and small nymphs, as well as keeping an eye out for any of our winter hatches. Midges, blackfies, and winter stoneflies can all be found hatching on the river in the next few months.
