{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Wenatchee, Washington

I worked at a fly shop in Seattle when I was growing up and did a ton of fishing all over Washington. The East Cascades should be fine, but depending when you go in the Spring, snow melt can be an issue. The rivers can get more cloudy as the day progresses. The nice thing about those rivers East of the Cascades is that they don't have lots of trees on the banks like back here and on the West side of the Cascades so you can get...

{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Maryland Trout

Personally, I enjoy the Gunpowder river. The browns there are on the smaller scale and are not easily convinced, which can provide for a very challenging yet rewarding experience since the fish are wild. There's alot of water to fish and ground to cover so if on a particular day you feel the water is too "pressured" you can always find a spot away from other anglers if you're up for it. Most times I've fished...

Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} GP Fishing Report 10_29_2013

Nice! I caught my first fly rod fish at GP as well with Rob....just over a year ago now I believe. I've only gone back once, and just got a needlefish and something else....don't remember. So GP is always a neat spot to me, if for no other reason. Most of the success I've had since then I can attribute to a really great deal I made with Satan several months ago. Well, he said he was Satan anyway....

Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} GP Fishing Report 10_29_2013

That's a lot of firsts, congrats on the milestone! Two years ago about this time I did the same. I've had luck in the past at night on those olive over white clousers tied with a fair amount of copper flash. If there's anything I've learned, don't be afraid of going BIG when fishing for stripers. Even the little guys will absolutely slam a 3.5 or 4" clouser and there's a better chance of moving the big guys if...

Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Maryland Trout

I second Jeff's comment. If you won't mind to drive extra hour and extra stays, Savage river is in western MD and several good rivers near by it. I have a book "Guide to Maryland Trout Fishing" by Charlie Gelso & Larry Coburn (8 or 9 dollars for used book I got). It has rich information, map with park lots, trails, etc. It is BIG plus and I read/use it all time. You can order it on Amazon. Sometime Orvis stores sells...

Two of my visits were from the Masemore Rd access point and work upstream until the Falls Rd bridge. Those were both of the less crowded trips, and I had the most success in that stretch. I accesses once from the Falls Rd access point (which is further above the bridge), and that's where I found the elbow to elbow conditions and also got skunked (had one follow on a streamer, but it was also later in the season so not quite apples...

WD-40 is a penetrant and lubricant that displaces water - WD stands for Water Displacement. Ingredients are a trade secret but in my experience it contains no solvents that might affect the PVC coating of a fly line.
