Spring Fishing on the Upper Chesapeake Bay and Gunpowder River

We had some good fishing on the Susquehanna Flats during the last couple weeks of May.  We still had some good numbers of fish around this year later in the month, maybe due to the late Spring.  We caught fish on the fly and on light spinning tackle and chased the topwater bite wherever we could find it.



We have been fly fishing the Gunpowder River the last week or so and having good success.  Dry fly fishing has been great in areas of the river where the Sulfur mayfly hatch is in full swing.  Well presented CDC comparaduns or a variety  of other Sulfur dun and emerger patterns have been catching fish.
