Fishing Report: Low cool water, lots of fish stacked up...
Wild Bow With the water at 32 CFs expect to cover a good stretch of water before you find fish. That said, the water temperature is still in the high 50's so the fish are in good shape if a little skittish.Terrestrials and small caddis are still moving fish. Now is a good time to fish the pools and tailouts above Falls Rd. If you find deep runs and undercuts, spend some time trying bead head nymphs and small streamers. Fishing upstream is better with low water conditions so walk the trails down and fish back up.Thanks to Scott for the following stream report... click on the read more button...

Note: Overcast days are great for fly fishing the Gunpowder Falls.

Fishing Report: Lots of 7x, wild fish in the Gunpowder Falls River and great weather...
Wild Bow Water is clear, 82 Cfs and great for wading...Water temps are 62 -64 F.Don't wait until school starts to go fishing. People are catching fish RIGHT NOW on BWO's and Tricos in the morning, beetles , ants and hoppers in the afternoon and caddis and even a few, dare I say it, Sulphurs in the evenings-these patterns may be imitating yellow drakes and even little yellow sallies, but whatever the fish are taking them for rejoice, for you can catch fish on flies that you can actually see.My neighbor picked up a 15" brown the other evening on a #12 Sulphur Dun. We've heard about tricos just about every day this week.Click on the read more button...

Fishing Report: Midging and nymphing...
Wild Bow The river is a little cooler at 50 F and is still low and clear. Fish are taking midges and midge emergers in corners and back-eddies from mid-day on. Nymphing in the AM is a great way to start the day and #12-14 prince nymphs have been working fine. Smaller nymphs, such as #16-18 pheasant tails are worth a try. Streamers have...click on the read more button...
