Ah yes! Lefty's casting demo. Great for learning how to cast in the side-elbow style like Lefty -- and we all know Steve Rajeff, Joan Wulff, and Mel Krieger all suck.

Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Tuscon or Phoenix Area Fly Fishing
Ha! That's pretty funny!I think I'm going to end up hitting the Phoenix area. It looks like the Lake Pleasant fishing is supposed to be pretty spectacular between constant topwater striper action and massive largemouths and smallmouths, so I'll probably end up doing a guided trip for that. I also discovered there's a large population of carp in the urban canals around Phoenix, so that's right in my wheelhouse. Great time killer...

{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: FLETCHER'S UPDATE - and THANK YOU to the NPS!!!
Most agencies can be made to work effectively when there's an immense amount of political pressure from people who wear suits into DC on weekdays. I suspect in this case several Congressmen have buddies who griped about the potential loss of access and a lot of things were moved along as a result. Whatever works -- I admit that I did not read the actual reports about how the fix was achieved. Did they...

Lived there for 6 yrs. if you have the time. Lee's Ferry. If I remember correctly about 6 hrs from Phoenix. The White mountains east of Phx 2-3 hrs. have some good trout fishing also some good lakes with trout. I used a float tube back then up in the lakes. Also Indian reservations in white mts have pay to fish lakes that are ver good. It's been awhile left there in 1989.

I went to Phoenix a few years back and spent the day with the fishing manager of the Orvis store, Cinda Howard. She and i went out to some retention ponds and caught carp and koi, and it was a good time. I still have her mobile if you want to give her a call; I didn't see her on the Orvis web site, but you could call the store.

{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Tuscon or Phoenix Area Fly Fishing
I live in Tucson and grew up here. Leave your flyrods at home. Seriously.
You've got great saltwater fishing 4-6 hours south and into Mexico from here. Or you've got decent trout fishing 3-4 hours north and/or east of here. There are a string of warmwater lakes east of Phoenix, but those are at least 2-3 hours away from Tucson and you definitely need a boat. There are 3 urban ponds in Tucson that offer stocker trout in the winter...

{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Tuscon or Phoenix Area Fly Fishing
Hi all - I'll be doing a work trip out to Tucson at the beginning of May and figured I'd stay out there for an extra day to do some fishing if anything is worth it. I've been rather limited in the fishing opportunities I've found in/near Tucson - at least from a guided trip perspective. I found Hook Up Outfitters out of Phoenix that offers stripers/largemouth trips on Lake Pleasant or Trout trips in Oak Creek Canyon. Is anyone...

{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Horsepower at Fletchers
I have a five horse power 4 stroke Honda (weighs about 60 lbs) and it is fine even going "uphill" against Spring currents. A 3.5 HP would probably work OK, but be slow upstream in the Spring. A 6 HP (e.g., Tohatsu, Nissan or Mercury) would probably work well too. If II am not mistaken, the maximum limit is about 8 HP or ~80 Lbs which would is a little heavy to easily haul...
Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Horsepower at Fletchers
Hey there TPFR - long-time lurker, but I thought I'd chime in since I can offer some actual knowledge here. We have a 42 lb. thrust electric motor that is a bit underpowered. It's fine for tooling around the cove, but it is slow to get upstream towards Chain Bridge. If I was buying an electric motor, I would not buy less than 50 lb. thrust. Per previous poster, any gas engine would probably be fine.On...
