Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} A warm week in January

For the effect of air temperature on water temperature, check out the
USGS little Falls gauge and watch it for a while.
The Potomac seems to track average air temperature somewhat quickly
during the summer (I haven't looked much during the winter).

Dramatic changes in temperature shake things up. That can be good or
bad. In general a little warmer will make the fish more active, but I
haven't spent enough time on the water during the winter to figure this out.

The best way to figure this out is to actually keep a fishing diary.
I'm to lazy to do it these days, but it is a good way to absorb what's
going on and is a good reference for the next year.

How does that affect water temperature / fish activity? Will "non-warm water discharge" areas be active or does the river not respond that fast?
