RE: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Accotink Creek

Nope, it wasn't me out there, I always fish on weekdays.I find these trout still have feeding habits from the hatchery. On certain hours they hit really well and certain hours they just shut down. In my experience with flies for the Accotink trout is that anything that you offer, they will hit if it's the right...

Hey Todd - you aren't the guy my wife and I ran into out there this weekend are you?

{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Rappahannock is fishing well

I went to the Rappahannock with a friend today. We started below the Route 1 bridge. My friend caught an 18.5" striper. That is all we caught in that location.We moved to an area above the bridge. I caught 6 shad. My friend caught 1. I also hooked a few and lost them.There was someone else fishing in the area. He must have caught 30 or more during the time we were there. Right now...

{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Smith Mountain Lake Info?

That will suit most of your needs out there just fine. Unless we're crossing some of the big water or putting out 8 or 10 planer boards with live alewives/shad, I could do all my fishing out there from a SUP board. Unfortunately, I don't have a SUP board. Yet. On Tuesday, April 30, 2013 10:28:42 AM UTC-4, Leon wrote:Wow, Thanks!

Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: POTOMAC SHAD UPDATE??

Jeff: I suppose that's entirely possible, but I didn't get a good look at it. I'm guessing a carp. I've seen photos here and elsewhere of big fish in the Potomac, so I guess I should not have been so surprised. Spotting critters helps make fishing worthwhile for me. I got my canoe into Burke Lake one evening late last week and was completely skunked (as has been my usual experience there) but I saw beavers, all...

I can't predict the future but I think an excellent chance there will be shad in the river this weekend -- have at it! I skulked out from work a little early yesterday afternoon and in short order was on shore casting from the rocks about a .25 mile above Fletchers. It was a great time; I caught only four, not a gazillion like others, but it was a sight to behold! They are leaping out of the water and bigger fish are chasing...

{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Project Healing Waters 2 Fly Tournament

I have to second everything you wrote except I might add that "inspiring" and "incredible" are understatements to some of things I heard and saw this weekend as a volunteer stream monitor. As an example, I saw a disabled vet with one arm tie on a two-fly rig (with no assistance) and then proceed to fish what I thought was the most technical part of the Rose River like he was shooting fish in a barrel. This part of...

{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Smith Mountain Lake Info?

That's Bernard's Landing. My folks are directly across the lake from the other side of the peninsula you'll be on, so you picked an area I actually frequent. A boat would be preferable (a canoe will do), but you'll find LMB and tons of perch where you are anyway. I've also shot my fair share of geese off the point of the peninsula you're on, but that season is a long way off right now.The rip-rapped shoreline you're...

{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Project Healing Waters 2 Fly Tournament

What an amazing weekend! It was great to see Rob and Lang out supporting Project Healing Waters this weekend. Rob was one of the Pro-Vet guides, Lang was monitoring the stream, and I was teamed up with a soon to be vet. There was some awesome fishing, but more importantly, some truly inspiring stories from the participants. It was incredible.
