{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: East Slope Brookies

Well done Bob -- those are all great streams.  To be honest, we were out several weeks ago on a cold morning and could scarcely bring anything up (other than one the size of my pinkie).  I didn't have a thermometer, but I suspect the temps were south of 40.  I guess we'll commence life in the park again soon.  Beth wants to camp more this year than last and I have several places already picked I think.  I'm aiming to hit 2 new spots this season.  

And that couldn't have been my soul -- it prefers the kosher meal!  

Sorry about your vehicle -- we were out there last year one day and followed a long trail of oil up the mountain, over the washboard, disappearing at the end of a small passenger car pulled-off on the side at the first turnaround.  I felt bad for that guy (or gal, the car was empty).

I've been fishing the east slope streams of Shenandoah National Park steady all winter.  In the past two weeks I've fished the Rapidan, Rose, Cedar Run, White Oak Canyon, and Hazel.  Caught fish on all of them.  If anyone is sitting home with cabin fever and winter blues, get out to the park, the fish are biting.  Sunday I fished the Rapidan and hiked up to Camp Hoover.  It was pretty cool to fish in pools that President Hoover, Charles Lindburg, and the British Prime Minister fished in together.  TurbinBlade I ran in to your soul at Camp Hoover, it's ready to be picked up and go fishing. 

On a negative note, I broke a leaf spring on that damn road in the Rapidan Wildlife Management Area.  I'm not sure how I feel about it.  On one hand I wish they would maintain it so I wouldn't break leaf springs, then on the other hand the road keeps allot of the pressure off the fish.  You have to be a die-hard to want to go up there.

Here's a few pictures, and if you didn't know, there's no place better to enjoy a bacon sandwich than the bottom of a frozen waterfall.
