Ole' Gene, the eternal pessimist. I was using a casting net...illegal but very effective.

Actually, it was a soft hackle march brown, much like this one.

No!  Soft hackles are for old dudes and they don't work.  Nothing to see here folks -- he was probably using some kind of parachute or jig-style, tungsten nymph on a Czech rig.

That's a great day on the Gunpowder, well done!  What type of wet fly you were fishing?  A soft hackle of some sort?

I was actually fishing a wet fly.  I only saw one rise all day and I promptly switched to a dry and caught him.  Then I went back to the swinging the wet fly and proceeded to catch fish until dark.  I will add, always be aware of the weather.  The fish feed differently depending on whether its sunny, overcast, rainy, etc.

Wow, what a day! Were you nymphing or did they take dries? The brownies in the Gunpowder sure are pretty.
