Back On The Gunpowder

Now that I’m back home for a bit (in the unfortunately hot Maryland), I’ve had a chance to once again wet my line on the lovely Gunpowder Falls river.  Here are some shots I’ve managed in a few outings, the late afternoon of the 14th and the evenings of the 15th and 16th.

We saw this guy as we were walking up to our fishing spot.

A little while later I hooked into this guy.

These fish sure love the beetles.

And a bit further upstream, I hooked into another nice brown.

And back he goes.

Now, onto the evening of the 15th.  With the water running low and cold and the humidity running entirely too high, a nice fog develops over the water in the mornings and evenings.

Although it was getting dark and the visibility was tough, I did manage to hook into two fish that evening.

My father fishing in the fog.

Fishing once you can’t even see is, in a twisted way, surprisingly fun.  Granted, actually catching a fish at this time of day (9pm) would be difficult at best.

Another hot and humid day (the 16th) brings a rather foggy evening on the river.  Fishing through the fog is good fun.

Although the fishing wasn’t too great this day, I did manage to land two decent fish (I only took pics of the first one though).

It’s been nice to be back home for a bit and to get back out on the Gunpowder, and I’m especially pleased that I’ve finally hook into some fish this summer (although one of these days I’ll finally figure out those New England streams!).
