Backwater Angler - Low water in the Gunpowder river for awhile...

We'll be experiencing some low water for awhile. Water flow is at a low, low 24Cfs so bring your Summer rod-a 7' 7" 3wt 4pc Scott G2 would be nice. Small water calls for small flies so fish tiny olives, caddis and brassies and be sure to bring along some 7x. Expect to see some ankle deep water out there folks-think lower river and have fun out there...

Thanks to Ellen for the following report...
You're the greatest! We stopped by the shop at 2 pm on Saturday October 21st and took your recommendations on huge caddis flies. Went to Mazemore and walked upstream from the bridge, fishing close to the banks. The weather was beautiful; no rises, but we tried the dries anyway. Second cast: a nice 11" rainbow. All in all, 9 or 10 fish depending on how you count. To explain: I fished into a small eddy and caught a very small fish (by its weak wriggling); as I was bringing it in, suddenly the line went down and a very different, very strong action began. At first I though the fish was playing with me, but as I brought whatever was on the line to my net (carefully since I was using light tackle and a 2 st rod), I realized that a very large brown trout (>15") had taken on my little catch. Just as I reached to net them both, Big Boy decided on a wiser course on action and let go, leaving a four inch quite dead young 'un on my fly. I was able to pass on your recommendations to a young angler, and as soon as he put large caddis flies on, he reported on several hits.
