21 very aspirational men and women from TU and TPFR drove up, geared up, rigged up, and psyched up. For most, it was their first their experience fishing the Gunpowder. The flow was low. The fish were there but could have been a bit more cooperative.
Although not a complete tally, a few of the beasties were brought to hand in the morning using pheasant tails, rainbow warriors, and buggers. Once the afternoon came around - parachute adams, griffith's gnats, and 90%-ers were on the menu for some rising browns - and, yes, a brookie.
GTHBA (good time had by all). Thanks for coming out !!
TPFR is a charter chapter of FFI (Fly Fishers International). Moving forward, we're planning more days on the water targeting other species and different locations. These trips will be open only to FFI members so don't delay - go to our website and become an FFI member today.
Cheers

So if your hankerin' do some fishin', or want to practice those techniques you just learned at those upcoming Orvis Euro Nymphing classes with Bryan Donoway (also on the Gunpowder - see Orvis Arlington), or just want to fish the wonderful Gunpowder River -- mark your calendar to join us for a day on the Gunpowder.--
