Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} First time to SNP - Suggestions?

Ryan,

Just hit SNP last weekend particularly Hughes river. Fishing was not the greatest, I hiked in about 2 or 3 miles through some steep terrain and got skunked! I saw a few other guys fishing who told me that the brookies were hitting gnats and that the fish were tiny to begin with.

In the past I have had good luck with White Oak canyon. Its a bit further south on Skyline and supports bigger fish however, the hike is still pretty intense. You wont get the bigger (7 inches plus) fish unless you do a 3 mile plus hike in and go past some of the falls. Harry Murray has an amazing book about fishing the park I highly recommend it.

Good luck let me know how you do!

Keep Fishing~

I'll be heading up to Shenandoah National Park this weekend to camp at Big Meadows Campground. I'm planning to chase some Brookies while I'm there... my first time fishing in the park. Does anyone know anything about the streams in this area of the park? I'll have my 4wt, and I'm willing to hike down the mountain if necessary. But, I'd love to find a stream that is accessible by foot from Skyline Drive.  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
Ryan
