Trout & About is a
professionally operated fly
fishing instruction, guiding
and destination service
located right on the
Gunpowder River.
We offer one and two day fly
fishing schools for up to six
people and personal on-stream
schools for up to two
people. Our instructors are
led by Trout & About owner
Phil Gay who is an FFF Master
certified instructor. Phil
has also authored two
instructional
videos, "Practical Fly
Casting" and "Presentation
Casts for Trout". Call or e-
mail to obtain a copy.
Our guiding features the
Gunpowder River and other
select catch and release or
special regulation waters in
Maryland and central
Pennsylvania. We can look at
the Gunpowder across the
backyard so we know it well
and fish it often.
Our destination trips are
highly select and feature the
Harpster water on Spruce
Creek in central PA. We have
booked 75 days on this
fabulous private water in
2005 and will have the same
for 2006. These trips
include lodging, home cooked
meals, an open bar, a
selection of complimentary
flies, a commenorative
ballcop and limited guiding.
We also tailor trips to
Western Maryland to fish the
North Fork of the Potomac,
the Savage and the
Casselman. We do the same
for the Little Juniata in
central PA. These trips are
typical 2-3 days and include
meals and lodging.
Call or e-mail for specific
details on any of the schools
or trips. You can also e-
mail for actual weather and
stream conditions for the
Gunpowder.
