We got back to the car and headed over to another stretch off Monkton Rd. We fished about a half mile of the river and only had one fish to claim from that stretch, a nice sized White Sucker Zach actually false hooked. We decided to grab lunch and make a move to another spot we really like off of Blue Mount Rd. (which we found with the help of the awesome guys at Backwater Angler Fly Shop) to try out a feeder creek that runs into the Gunpowder. We ended up wading about a mile or more upstream since we got into some good sized River Chub, Fallfish, and a Pumpkinseed on all different colors of Wooly Buggers, Zonkers, and Clouser Minnows. We had over a dozen fish each when Zach hooked into an awesome Brown. Check out the pics:
We fished the feeder run for most of the day since we got into some great fish. After walking back to the Gunpowder, we decided to fish downstream a bit from the feeder creek and ended up getting into/fishing the day with some wild brook trout, two of which we took on a double header. All around great day, the next trip is planned for 2 weeks from now but who knows what we'll get into between now and then...Check out the pics of the final fish and the scenes of the day:
Backwoods Update: My little bro Ryan headed down to Colin's pond (Bucks Pond) to fish with Colin and the Backwoods guys this past weekend and sent me some pics...check it out:
