Morning Fishing On The Gunpowder
Went out for the morning to fish tricos up above Falls Rd on the Gunpowder River. Those tricos are really impossibly small – sizes 22 or 24 – but it’s a lot of fun fishing with them.
After the tricos ended, we went a little lower down to try our hands at some streamer fishing – that didn’t go too well, for whatever odd reason.
The players were me and my father.
Here are a few I caught on the tricos, ending a few days of getting skunked.

As always, it’s nice to get out, and especially since I was able to catch a few fish, which hasn’t happened in a few outings. Of course, I practice catch and release fishing, so those fish were back in the water as soon as I’d snapped a few pics. It’s a good way to maintain a healthy population of browns in the Gunpowder.

Enjoyed viewing your adventures, skier fly fisher also. Haven’t skied Stowe in many years, but the back country looks amazing. Where is the Gunpowder River? I do my fishing in the Catskills, (EB/WB Delaware, and Beaverkill). Hopefully my son (11) will one day enjoy the adventures with me the way you and you father do.

Thanks!
The Gunpowder is a really nice tailwater right near Baltimore, MD, my hometown. All sorts of nice fishing, amongst other things, to be had in the area right around the river. It’s also conveniently about a 5minute drive from my house in MD.
