{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Rapidan Report 9.28.13

This past Saturday I did a guided trip on the upper Rapidan in the SNP. Caught almost 20 brookies throughout the day. No giant ones, but several were really showing off their spawning colors. We fished mostly beetles with a few ants and a couple mayfly imitations as well. There were some giant mayflies hatching, but not one specific species...

Thanks Dan! So I would assume areas like the duck pond and tidal basin would not be affected due to the tide mixing the water? -- 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: Fall Turnover?

Matt,basically cooler, denser water sinks to the bottom as night temps drop and forces warmer water that has been there all summer to the surface. This can lower oxygen levels in shallow waters and generally makes the lake muddy. It's seen more in lakes that stabilize; smaller, deeper waters with less current or wind are more likely to do this. The potomac won't do it because it is a river and the water is moving...

{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Fall Turnover?

Can anyone help me understand the Fall turnover? How can you indentify when it happens? Does it only happen in large lakes? Does the Tidal Potomac experience a turnover? Any predictions on when it will occur this Fall? Thanks! -- http://www.tpfr.org --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders" group.

Bruce, Yes I was wading and have been doing so all summer with out any incident. It would be hard for a police officer to drive by on the GW Parkway and see anyone at the spot along the tunnel wall.

Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Potomac Fishing Report 9.29.13

I got one around 8:30 - also on a white CK Baitfish. Personal best for me - between 16" and 18". The weeds were really bad, though - thick mats of floating weeds that got tangled around the fly and fly line. Was thinking a stripping basket might have been useful. Also saw tons of baby Shad feeding on the surface. I missed seeing the meteorite though...--ScottSent from my iPhoneOn Sep 29, 2013, at 9:26 PM, Rob Snowhite...

Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Potomac Fishing Report 9.29.13

Rebecca Davenport, Scott Stankus and I fished the tide change at Gravelly tonight. Me and Davenport spotted a meteor over DC which was pretty awesome. I had two hook ups. First one broke me off on a 12lb tippet and was the hardest bite I've ever experienced around here, similar to a steelhead. Next cast after I rigged up was with a white CK Baitfish. First cast got me a fat striper, probably the 3rd biggest I've pulled out of...

{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Potomac Fishing Report 9.29.13

I fished the Tidal Basin from about 4-430 this afternoon. The incoming tide was beginning to peter out as I arrived, but I still stuck a handful of Stripers around 12" each. Being that I was in jeans and flip-flops, I called it quits as the tide began to overtake the concrete walkway I was standing on. Size 2 Chart/White Clousers on a sinking line did the trick. -Trent -- http://www.tpfr.org --- You received this...
