Very interesting, Andy.  Way to think outside the box.  I've been skunked on the Gunpowder on many occasions, but it looks like you figured it out this time!

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.
