Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Float trip on Potomac - fly suggestions

I haven't fished the Potomac for smallies yet, but if it is anything like the Shenandoah, bring along some olive-ish streamers too. Suggestions include olive/white clouser or hogsucker imitations. Also consider bringing some dragon/damselfly nymphs and run them as a popper/dropper combo.

Chartreuse/white half-and-halfs were better than Clousers this weekend between Dam 3 and Brunswick.  Nice side to side motion in addition to the up and down. 

 

Have fun!

 

Cheers,

Subject: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Float trip on Potomac - fly suggestions

2 Dads, 2 11 year olds, putting in at Riley's Lock getting out at Swain's Lock this weekend, 2 nights on the river so we will get 2 evenings and 3 early mornings to try and get some smallies.

Spin tackle for kids (some fly fishing by them may take place)

Me-5wt
other Dad-7wt or so.

I am planning on bringing an assortment of flies such as:

Pink white clouser
Chartruese/white clouser
crayfish pattern
various poppers and foam bugs
stonefly nymphs


No time to tie cicadas.

Any other small mouth killer suggestions welcomed.
