{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Buy-Sell-Trade Dedicated Thread

Hey guys, the official TPFR Buy-Sell-Trade forum has died of neglect (RIP a/o July 2026). In its place please use this thread for such activity. 

A few ground rules.  Please keep your posts to this thread only so it doesn't overwhelm our regular talk about making fish late for their appointments. And, please keep your negotiations offline by responding privately to posts. Updates to indicate an item has been sold are good and appreciated. Mods pls sticky this thread if possible! Thanks all, and happy bartering. 

Cordially yours,
 
Michael "Misha" Gill

Took my 15yo and her friend to the Burke Lake Dam today for about an hour. Lost count of fish. With minimal instruction her friend was into fish. Casting a few inches from shore to about 5’ out they landed bluegill and green sunfish until we lost count. Poppers with worm droppers and small Chernobyl’s like I tied at June Beer Tie. All in 5 wt rods.

Most of the casting was done from trail to allow us to sight cast with the height advantage. No one complained about the heat.

They didn’t tip me.

Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Chesapeake Bay Red Drum Guide

Jonathan is great! He’s gotten me on Potomac River muskie in the past.

Our own Jonathan Griffiths of Potomac River Trophies ( (240) 731-1282 ) generally starts going for cobia in the summer! Id recommend raching out to him to see if he is planning to do it this year and when. Its usually a late August early September thing in my limited knowledge of that game. The Reds are generally travelling in a big school so if you find them its epic.

I am looking for recommendations for a fly fishing guide on the Chesapeake Bay to target Red Drum and Cobia.

If you have any suggestions or preferred guides you have worked with in the past, I would greatly appreciate your input.

Thanks,
Sean
