Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Conway / Rapidan - Best access point

For the Rapidan. I love to fish the parts in the Rapidan WMA and the SNP. As you drive into the WMA you drop down on the stream with it on your left. The stream weaves in and out of the SNP and the WMA. As you drive along, The 3 landmarks a lot of people use are the first and 2nd bridge and the parking lot before the SNP. Up til the first bridge any car with clearance is safe. I dont take anything...

{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Conway / Rapidan - Best access point

You can access the Conway from the Rapidan WMA. From the first parking area you can cross the river and follow the trail downstream to fish back up. After about 1/2 mile you will also come upon a little spot on your left that you can camp and have a fire if you're so inclined. I have not driven further than the first area, but some locals told my friend and I that there is another parking area upstream...

{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Anyone like to film?

Derek,Yup! Everything was shot using my Hero2, it was somewhat difficult trying to put such a small camera in good positions to make good shots. There isnt a viewfinder or a display screen on it so you kind of have to know the camera before you can use it efficiently. I think the video could have been a lot better for the amount of time I spent trying to film that day. If I hadn't spent so much time filming I probably would have...

{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} 4MR this morning

Stopped by 4MR this morning. I intended to be on the water by 6:30 but hit the snooze to many times. I have to get organized better so I can get out of the car and on the water quicker. Lots of 6 to 10 inch bass by the outflow. Peaceful sunrise. I like cold weather fishing on that creek. I yet to ignore...

Fished Holmes all morning yesterday with no luck. Super frustrating. I feel like I haven't caught a trout in forever.

{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Incredible Day on 4MR

Tonight I accidentally stumbled upon a link (from another website) to the thread on here in 2012 the first time a guy posted a photo of a tilapia caught out of 4MR. He said that VDGIF biologists doubted the fish would last the winter...so much for that!

{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Anyone like to film?

Nick,Sorry for the delay in response, I've been tied up at work the past week or so without much downtime. Love the video! Was everything filmed with the Hero2? It looks like you dedicated yourself to take the required time necessary to set up good shots. I'm always kicking myself for wasted time fiddling with cameras when I get skunked on a trip while filming.On Thursday, November 20, 2014 10:41:27 AM UTC-5, Nick...

{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Finally got my grass carp

Carp stories are fun! Beth and I have landed some in the 20+ pound range, though all were on (secret) jiffy dough bait on spinning tackle, usually with 8-pound mono. Beth caught a good one on the Potomac a while back and I posted the picture here at some point -- he was hard to lift! I hooked a fairly large one (maybe in the 10-15 pounds range) this spring on fly tackle (3-weight.....obviously I wasn't planning...
