Hendricksons on the Gunpowder River

Winston and a Hendrickson The Gunpowder River is clear, flowing at 75CFs and is 56F. Thanks to Mike Colegrove for this great shot of a Hendrickson on his “Gunpowder Special”-If you’re an early riser, Caddis in the #16-18 range are a safe bet-especially x-caddis. We’ve also been swinging unweighted pheasant tails in the #12-14 range. By Mid-morning we’ve been fishing light Hendricksons in either a #14 or #16. Switching over to the dark Hendricksons after lunch will keep you in the game. Try a rusty spinner through the late afternoon and into the evening. Shad are in the lower Gunpowder and Deer Creek ad we have lots of fly rod darts tied locally in Bel Air, MD from Eric Snyder in the muffin tins.
