The G series is truly a fly fishermen’s dream. The G Series is the perfect rod for making that delicate cast at a rising fish or that stealthy mend for the perfect drift. I you are looking for a spring creek rod for more delicate presentations then we suggest the Scott G Series It’s also stiff enough to cast larger streamers but has a lighter tip which allows you to feel the bottom while tight line nymphing. It’s strong enough to combat stronger winds and still delivers the perfect presentation. To begin with, you will be needing a sturdy rod with a nice backbone to handle those larger fish and cast larger flies. but there is always the same question from all of these anglers: “what do I even bring out there?” But don’t worry we are here to help you on your way to an amazing trip. Over my last few years working here at Backwater we always have a stream of anglers itching to go out to Montana and chase after its beautiful fish.

The last of our Patagonia and Filson clothing will be 50% off for the summer. The larger nymph is used to help get the flies down in the current and deeper water, however the midge is often the most productive of the two. I usually use a larger nymph paired with a midge imitation. The faster water will be the most productive. Nymphing has been a successful tactic when the fish are hesitant to come to the surface. Putting a nymph under the larger foam patterns is an effective way to pluck the more hesitant fish from the moving water. Using beetles and ants to cover the water shaded by trees has been very productive with opportunistic fish willing to take them. Terrestrials have been the key to fishing on these hot summer days. Although the water is cold, try to limit handling for the fish’s safety. The Gunpowder is still sitting at a beautiful 60cfs with temperatures swinging from 51-57F. Late July Fishing reportĪ great brown trout caught on a nymph during a guide trip last week. This entry was posted in fishing report on Augby Jacob Warner. Fishing with a dry dropper in the riffles and runs is often the best way to present a nymph without spooking fish. Nymphing can still be effective in the deeper and faster water however that water is hard to come by in these conditions. A longer leader will also give you more time before your fly starts to drag in these slower pools.Ī dry dropper has been a go-to for subsurface fishing. We have been fishing a 10–12-foot leader to minimize the chance of spooking fish with our fly line. To target fish on the surface, a long leader will be almost necessary. The slower pools will hold consistently rising fish however, they will be eating very tiny flies like midges and trico patterns. Beetles, ants, and small hoppers have been on the menu for fish in our faster water. Although this is still a safe water temperature for trout, understand the water lower in the river will be warmer and you must use your best handling of fish to ensure their survival.ĭespite the drop in water, our tactics have not changed. Water temperatures have seen an increase, ranging between the mid 50s up to 60F. Although this picture was taken at the minimum of 26.7cfs on Wednesday, the water has bounced back to 38.0cfs. Summer low flows have finally hit the gunpowder. This picture was taken at Falls Road immediately after a steep drop in water. If you’re interested in more information on Western Maryland, we can set you up with all the gear and knowledge necessary. Opportunistic browns and rainbows were eager to rise out of the pocket water and take a dry or dropper. Hudson and I were using terrestrials throughout our trip. It is important to read the water correctly in order to present your fly well. High gradient and big boulders make for lots of different currents in each run. The other challenge anglers face is the intricate currents on the rivers. Studs and/or a wading staff are highly recommended. Slippery round boulders cover the banks and the bottom, providing many opportunities to fall. These are great levels to fish as you don’t have to battle the strong currents present during higher flows.īoth rivers have many challenges, one of the most notable being the wading. Right now, the water levels on the Savage and North Branch are low, at 48.8 CFS and 229 CFS respectively. This means that the water temperatures stay consistently cool throughout the year, even in the heat of summer. Like the Gunpowder River, these Rivers are tailwaters or are dam controlled. Both bodies of water hold Rainbow, Brown, and Brook Trout. Western Maryland is home to some of the some of the best water on the east coast: The Savage River and North Branch of the Potomac River.
