There's lots of great advice here. I've only started fishing the gunpowder (and for trout in general) but found that stealthy, spring creek like strategies helped with the low water in September. This included working upstream and not entering the water unless necessary (which helped Jillian as waders fit her poorly). Also, riffles/shade/undercut boulders seem to be most productive throughout the day as the fish seem less spooky and likely to take a fly. I started using something like a dropper with an ant or beetle on top. I had some success on the point fly in the late afternoon/evening but caught fish most reliably on the nymph, resorting to tight line techniques for the deepest pools. Hope this helps.
