What a great post! And cheers to RSW for the buffalo trace mention. A bit of a bourbon man myself, and nothing beats Bookers. But I'll never turn down Paddy's Irish whiskey. For a Guiness alternative, try Murphys Irish Stout. Great smokey taste. -- http://www.tpfr.org --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders" group.

{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Salmon and Steelhead Trip - October

Haha. Thats funny. Went through about 10 songs before deciding on this one. Each changes the tone quite a bit. We used 8 weights b/c of the salmon mostly, but can get away with a 6 or7 weight for steelhead. Since you are fishing light line, the lighter rods actually do a better job of protecting the tippet. Still, you lose way more than you land! On Wednesday, October 31, 2012 6:43:25 AM UTC-4, TurbineBlade wrote:Nice...

{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Salmon and Steelhead Trip - October

Great video, a few of us went up in the middle of last week and came back Sunday.Unfortunately, we can't report anything similar to that video, with none of us touching a targeted species. I am surprised to see that the DSR section looks like that, we mostly fished the upper fly stretch, which was raging at even 300 CFS (supposedly low water). I'll have to check out the DSR for at least a day when I'm back up.DaltonOn Tuesday,...

{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Salmon and Steelhead Trip - October

A buddy and I took a trip up to the Salmon River in Pulaski a couple of weeks ago. I know a few of you have either gone recently or plan to go, so I thought you all might enjoy hearing about the trip and seeing the video, which is my first attempt at trying to document my angling adventures. We fished in the Douglaston Salmon Run (which has a great website and fishing report), and lucked out with...

{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Unknown Catch in Four Mile Run

Hi Bruce, That dog park with the "lone outhouse" is the place where my wife and I park to fish 4MR -- there's no problem whatsoever with it. You can literally just suit up and wade out right there, or you can walk down the path a very short distance and hop in there right in front of the outfall. It's somewhat muddy when you first step in from the bank, but it gets more solid as you wade out. Don't...

{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Unknown Catch in Four Mile Run

Two questions about fishing the discharge area of 4MR:1) Is there a problem parking in the lot off Mount Vernon Ave by the soccer field? Looks like a shorter walk.2) I walked down to the end of the soccer field and saw the rock covered incline down to the creek. Is the bottom firm there or gooey? How gooey?Prior to this high water there was a tree grounded in mid-stream opposite the discharge. Is...

{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Bonefish/Tarpon Patterns

I just got back from Mexico and the guide pretty much wanted to fish gotchas the whole time for bones. With tan craft fur wing. So for bones I would tie multiple sizes and weights - bead chain in multiple sizes and brass eyes in multiple sizes. Also tan and white closers multiple sizes and weights. For tarpon I would tie basic toads in tan and dark colors and also some baitfish in silver colors for dirty water. Stuff that would...
