{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Lost rod

Hi all,

I absentmindedly left a rod in its tube at the Terminal D Potbelly's at Dulles International Airport yesterday evening, 7/2. It was a Snowman Rodworks 6 weight on an olive Epic 686 blank with red accent wraps in a green cloth rod tube.

In the (unlikely, I know) event someone comes across it or a similar rod I would love to buy it off you—or even if you happen to have a set of olive Epic blanks around as they are no longer made in that color.

Sincerely,

Josh

Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} South Fork Shenandoah Preferences?

Thanks, Rob. We ended up scrubbing. Yesterday's rain blew it out. Hoping for a day next week.

Went to check out the river today and hit up Spelunkers (I now suggest the cheesesteak over the burger).

I fished Morgan's Ford for about an hour. This was before the torrential rains arrived. The water was high, fast, and murky at knee deep. Wry different than past several years. No bites on articulated crayfish, small black bugger, or popper. Birds were eating bugs below the bridge. Couldn't see what they were chasing. One fish jumped above the bridge. https://maps.app.goo.gl/iZPD4zQHA6Rayk819?g_st=ipc

The Downriver Canoe Company's Burner's Bottom float is a good all-day fishing trip. They can shuttle you if you have your own kayaks.

Hi all,

I have a buddy coming into town from Florida next week. We're meeting up in Front Royal. We have canoes and kayaks available to float (say, Karo to Front Royal), but I'm also intrigued about the possibility of fishing the State Park via a walk and wade. My buddy and I floated Karo to Front Royal a couple of,e of years ago. We both did well once we figured a few things out, but fishing new water is always fun. If you had to pick, which stretch would you choose? Or is there another stretch nearby that you'd consider? (I'm day tripping from Bethesda if it helps.)

Any insight is appreciated,

Dave
