Canoe Ride Down the Gunpowder

Type: Freshwater
Region: Western
Location: Gunpoweder River

Our four hour canoe ride down the Gunpowder River from Monkton to Sparks Road this past Sunday morning turned out to be one of my best fishing days ever on the river. We caught and released 4 rainbows 12" to 13", lots of browns ranging from 5" to 10" with one 14" long and too many fallfish to keep track of with some topping 15". Small silver size "0" Mepps and silver Rooster Tail spinners on an ultralight rod fished slow and deep at the top of each pool were the ticket for the day.
