{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Isais | Striper Weather

Heads up to those not paying attention to the weather- Low air pressure + precipitation + low fall light = tidal potomac striper weather. Maybe the boat will wash out of Gravelly. Four Mile should get a good scrubbing too. I hope some of you get out and swing some Clousers this weekend and bring stories to Beer Tie Sent from my iPhone -- http://www.tpfr.org --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders" group.

Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} South Holston TN

Good to know. I am staying a bit downstream of Big Spring. I should have some wading time in the morning. I think I'll strap my kayak to the roof.

Thank you Henry.

I am up here now. If you're planning on wading, there is a small window in the morning before the water gets too high. That's been the pattern lately but check the latest release schedule. Small size 18 - 20 black and olive midges have worked well.

Hello, I am heading to the South Holston river outside Bristol, TN this weekend. I've done my research on their local fly shop sites and have their recommended flies.
Does anyone here have any of their own tips if they have visited this river? Thanks, Ted.

{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Oct 17 - PLAY with TPFR, CWA, and NoVaTU on the Gunpowder

When: Saturday, Oct 17, 9 am

Where: Gunpowder: Bunker Hill And Mingo Fork Loop

1 17724 Bunker Hill Rd, Parkton, MD 21120

This will be a combined fishing day with Chesapeake Women Anglers and Northern VA Trout Unlimited

If you haven't fished the Gunpowder before this would be a good way to fish part of it.

Gunpowder Falls is a tailwater fishery that fishes well year-round.

Bunker Hill is in the upper section (catch and release) of the river that extends from Prettyboy Reservoir downstream to Blue Mount Road. Access is easy with trails parallel to the river. As this is a tailwater, the temperatures and water levels are relatively constant, check the USGS gage.

You will need a valid Maryland license and remember that felt-soled wading boots are banned in that State.
