Good luck. Looks fishable for the next few days. Lots of poison ivy along the trails.

For reds, go with a 6ft section of 20# with a 3ft tippet of 12#. If you'll be fishing a lot of grass, go with mono butt and fluoro tippet for the abrasion resistance. The fluoro is more brittle than regular mono, so be prepared to lose to flies. I might also suggest some worm/eel patterns - I use a strip of black or olive zonker tied in just above the bend and with a loop of mono hanging off the back to keep it from fouling, then...

Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Mosquito Lagoon, Florida fishing advice

You should have pretty good luck early in October, since the mullet will be running (hint - bring mullet imitations). I'd leave the 5wt at home, since that'll really be too light for anything but some snapper. You'll want to fish Mosquito Lagoon. The water should be crystal clear, and it is basically a massive grass flat. Indian River and Banana River can also work, but I'd do Mosquito if possible. If a cold front hasn't hit yet,...

James and New river from headwaters of the James down and the new out around Blacksburg have some big girls in there.

Little Serow is the best snakehead in town and they've had it almost every time I've been.
