Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Cedar Run- White Oak Canyon

Well, that's one of the best hikes in the park, so your starting off on the right foot. If you don't mind bushwacking, I'd focus on the areas between the upper and lower falls. The trail swings away from the run, and it's pretty rough moving, which of course means there's less pressure. And there is some good holding water in there. I've also seen a bunch of brookies up above the upper falls, higher than...

{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} The green head flies were bad at times, but.....

But we caught fish. Fished with my buddy who is the conservation director at IGFA in the everglades back country. We didn't have a bonkers day, but plenty of snook and baby tarpon were to be had. And I got to ride on one of the best flats boats I've ever been on - Hells Bay Whipray. The hull is only 600 pounds. Motor another 200. I also caught...

Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Cedar Run- White Oak Canyon

Hudson, My wife and I fished and hiked up the Cedar Run side in the drizzle two Saturdays ago. The water levels didn't seem too low. We got there around 10 am and caught four eager little Brookies (<8") with a royal wulff in just under 2.5 hours, fishing at a leisurely pace and sharing my 4wt rod. It seemed like the larger of the small pools all held fish. There were plenty of hikers and swimmers heading further...

Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Cedar Run- White Oak Canyon

There r fish in there. As it warms up people swim there. I wouldn't fish it this late just because swimmers are annoying and rude generally. But early in season it's fun for Brookes.

{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Cedar Run- White Oak Canyon

Either option would be good. I tried that area last summer and water levels were really low. However we've had no shortage of precipitation this year so it might be better. Situations like this or where a collapsible tenkara rod and a few flies really shines, it is no big decision or commitment to carry it. As for flies those brookies are not usually picky so this time of year I'd bring a few that float really well in sizes 14-18...

{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Cedar Run- White Oak Canyon

Hi folks,I'm relatively new to the area and this group. I'm hiking the Cedar Run- White Oak Canyon circuit in Shenandoah early on 7/12 and wondering whether it would be worth it to bring a rod along. I've read that the water will be low, especially on the Cedar Run side. Any tips on flies, fly-fishing the area, or just to enjoy the hike and wait until fall? Thanks,Hudson -- http://www.tpfr.org --- You received...
