{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: What's up with Four Mile Run?

If there's a strong NW wind, it commonly empties at low tide. At the outfall there is nearly always *some water with a few fish, even with the entire thing empty. One day it was quite murky, but still productive as tide dropped. I've probably fished it 9-10 times in the last several weeks and have found the usual gang of 100 small bass (LMB and SMB) and sunfish and have had several "stand there and pull out as...

{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} What's up with Four Mile Run?

Was driving past this afternoon and it's the lowest I've ever seen it. And it wasn't even low tide? Mud bars everywhere.

Run, do not walk, to your local fly shop for the most recent Eastern Fly Fishing, which has an informative article on DIY fishing this area by yours truly. Do not buy the magazine, because if I told you to buy it this would be a commercial post. But definitely read it. There was also a good article about the area in the next-most-recent issue, so read both if you can. As for camping, if you are retired military you might be able...

I have spent some time fishing mosquito lagoon which is close to the indian river lagoon. Caught some specks and ladyfish wade fishing, but in general, it is not an easy place to do DIY, at least without a boat. Google around and you should be able to find some maps with access/parks.

The savage is beautiful and I wished I fished it more. It's very challenging and it feels good to hook a brown trout there. I once destroyed the fish in that 7X glide. Our campsite had leaders with multiple green weenies still attached that some previous camper didn't bother to trash properly.One of the above statements is a lie.

The driving distance from northern Virginia is prohibitive or I would fish them more. If you live near the North Branch, then you live near the Savage.

I've fished the NBPR on a number of occasions over the last few years. I've found that Barnum, WV is a nice place to go. Like Terry, I've had really good days and bad days. The dry fly fishing is usually hit or miss. You pretty much have to be there during hatch to find fish on dries. Nymphing however can work year round.
