{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Beaver Creek advice?

Went out on Saturday and had a great time.  My buddy Tim landed his first trout on a fly rod.  A very nice 13 inch Brown.  Gorgeous fish, fun fight, and he was walking on air the rest of the day.
You guys weren't kidding about the vegetation.  Casting was tough.  You had to fish very slow and stealthy.  Crystal clear water.  Fish were holding on the bottom of pools and seemed lethargic. Water level was low and slow.  We didn't catch a ton of fish, but it was beautiful, quiet country.  We only saw one other angler the whole day, who we of course told about the TPFR.
James at the Beaver Creek Fly Shop was extremely helpful.  Drew us maps and everything.  Great guy who also guides the Creek.
We will be heading back soon.  We saw 2 Monster Rainbows that were utterly unafraid of us.  They also had no interest in our flies.  Not sure how to catch those guys.  The smaller guys all hit the Cress Bugs we were nymphing.  Bouncing them off the bottom as deep as we could get them.  6x leader and tippet.  Tiny bugs.
Thanks again for all the advice, and I highly recommend taking a trip out there.  And the smaller your rod, the better.

Wow, thanks for the great advice, guys.  We are headed to the Beaver Creek fly shop first thing Saturday morning.  Will let you know how it goes.
Anyone else want to chime in?
