I managed to weave a couple of hours of fishing in as I cruised around town running errands today. I will just say it was a bizarre day of urban fishing. This is a pretty bad shot, but it's the best I could do with the timer function before the battery died in my camera. -Trent -- You received this message because you are subscribed...

Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Roaches run by DCA....
I'm here now. Fish at outflow are stacked up and feeding agressively. No rod as in wifes car waiting for her plane. Can't determine species. Wperch or schoolies.
I've seen people park on grass by ramp from 395 north. Seen people walk in from train tracks to fish and cast net from hot water outflow. Seen a boat try to go under from gravelly at outgoing tide???
Use google earth to find spots!

Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Roaches run by DCA....
My condo apartment overlooks Roaches Run and I watch folks fishing through my binoculars all the time. (Wave if you are one of them!). Apart from those in kayaks, canoes and john boats, the shore is fishable on both sides (road and railway line).There are also frequent waders and the water is wadeable just about all over, typically not exceeding waist height right out in the middle.

Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Roaches run by DCA....
Only access is into the parking area from the GW Parkway going South. Exiting you have to go south on the Parkway also. Then you can escape north or south through National Airport.

Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Roaches run by DCA....
The only approach that I know of is the parking lot along the GW Parkway (across from Gravelly Point). No idea how deep it is, overall, but the southern end (toward the airport), is relatively shallow and holds good weed beds throughout the summer. I'd definitely be interested in fishing RR on Saturday morning, weather depending... --Scott On Mon, Apr 30, 2012 at 3:31 PM, Bryan Lanier <bryan.lanier@gmail.com>...

Kudos to all involved in making TPFR (and spey casting and FFF and the Potomac River watershed and fly tying and the Antietam club) an integral and growing part of the VA Fly Fishing Festival. Also, a shoutout to Rob Snowhite for his informative, packed power point talk on shad fishing the Potomac and Rapp. Great spey technique demos from Master Casters Dan and John.

{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: A new rod
100% agree with EVERYTHING Richie just said. Well put and very thorough Richie, thanks! Could not have been stated better. I start a lot of people off with 9' 6-weights when they have no idea what they want to do but it includes Trout and Bass. Your post stated trout as the focus, so I think a 5 weight is the best choice. Many of us started with a 5 and caught tons of fish in a lot of places before...
RE: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: A new rod
Danny, When bass fishing, both large and smallmouth, your main problem is not fighting the fish, but delivering the fly. Smallmouth bass will eat anything from small poppers and mayflies to large crayfish and baitfish patterns. Largemouth fishing is traditionally a large fly game. All of those patterns tend to create...

Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} An interesting evening at the Tidal Basin
Aaron
Your rod was likely built for use with silk fly lines and has much
smaller guides than a modern rod. Silk lines, the predecessor of the
aerodynamic PVC floatillas most of us are launching today, are thinner
and guides were smaller to match. You have a few options. Buy an
expensive high maintenance silk line. Pick up a cortland sylk line
which is a made to imitate silk and as such has a thinner diameter. Or
you could strip,...
Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Roaches run by DCA....
I've caught Bass (LM and SM), Catfish, Longnose Gar, Snakehead, and panfish from there, most while wading. I've even heard about someone pulling a Waleye out of there earlier this Spring. It's a lot of fun, and worth checking out. And here's a short video of one of the smaller bass I caught there in March: http://vimeo.com/38672815 --Scott On Mon, Apr 30, 2012 at 7:28 AM, peter odell...

Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Morning Shad
With such low flow I've had great results spin casting on a drift from north of the boathouse about 1/2 mile for Hshad and Schoolie Stripers. No reason you shouldn't. Cast towards DC and slow the retrieve keeping your drift rate in mind. The fish seem to be congregating in deeper spots. Once you are even with the boathouse row back up and do it again. Remember there is less current along the DC shoreline...
{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Morning Shad
A friend and I are going out for Shad early tomorrow morning. I think
we're going to grab a boat from Fletcher's. Any pointers for early
morning shad? I'm planning on throwing out Clousers. I don't have a
sinking line, so I'll just add a few shot to the end.

{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} SNP Trip Report
Thanks again to everyone who offered suggestions for my first time fly-fishing in SNP. The information proved very valuable! After a frigid Friday night of camping at Big Meadows, I drove with my wife and another couple to the Limberlost trail parking lot (between mile poste 42 and 43) and set out along the White Oak Canyon trail. With the rest of the party being non-anglers, I didn't have as much time...
{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: sunday practice session at Fletchers
Thanks for your generosity of time, tackle and teaching, John. It is great to see so many folks learning and liking the fun and versatility of two-hand casting. And a lighter skagit rig is sure fun. I am interested to know how far the Wulff world has ventured into the non-vertical casting plane. And single-hand spey applications. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups...
