{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} News about the Anacostia

TPFR's - long time lurker, first-time poster. I saw this article today and wanted to pass it along - it's got some promising news about the Anacostia.http://www.washingtoncitypaper.com/blogs/citydesk/2015/04/30/wild-things/"King points to DDOE's restoration program focused on the river herring as a major victory. "We release approximately one million American shad each year," he says. "They are caught in our facility, tagged...

{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Fishing Oronoco Bay Park

I know there are "no fishing" signs around the old fenced off docks on the Southern side of that park, but dont know the rules for shore fishing in the main part. I dont recall exactly what those signs said. I see plenty of sunfish and the occasional carp cruising around in there. There's bound to be some bass and catfish as well.

Oh -- I hear they make a Nationals couch that holds beer, Prozac, Visine and tissues actually. You'll need them pretty much every game after the 5th inning, lol. (Note: Beth and I are from the St. Louis area). It comes with one of those 4-game deals and 2 free hotdogs. BTW -- you heard it here first.

No! Soft hackles are for old dudes and they don't work. Nothing to see here folks -- he was probably using some kind of parachute or jig-style, tungsten nymph on a Czech rig.

I've hear kayak tandems referred to as "divorce boats." As for me, I'm presently boatless but will likely be purchasing a kayak before Independence Day rolls around.

{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Good fishing tandem kayak

I've got a 15' Wenonah Angler, a very light royalex canoe. It weighs right around 50 pounds. Try finding a tandem yak that light. Loading, unloading and portaging are a breeze for one person. I haven't met a single person kayak that could be moved by one person without dragging it. Most weigh pretty close to double what my canoe wieghs. It has run many fishy stretches of the Potomac. No keel, but if you know how to paddle it...

{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Good fishing tandem kayak

Weight is a good issue to bring up. a larger kayak could have weight issues. And a child is not going to be able to help (I know I was zero help when I was a child to my dad with our canoe)a kayak cart might be a good accessory to buy to move you and your gear to and from the water from the car.
