{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: 1st time in the Tidal Basin

Don't feel bad. I went out last evening...under the small bridge that leads to the Pentagon harbor from about 1800-1930. Tried surface bugs and some streamer work and not even a bite. Did see plenty of fish chasing and eating things (either on the surface or chased there)....but nothing bit at any of my presentations. I then rode my bike over to FDR and fished that area (about 1945 until 2100). Very...

{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} 1st time in the Tidal Basin

So today I spent the afternoon by the George Mason Memorial. 1 big bite that took the fly & nothing else on minnows & a black woolly bugger. I ended up spending most of my time untying knots I created by bad casts into the wind. Any good beginner fly casting tips that will keep me from getting all tangled up? -- http://www.tpfr.org --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups...

{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Schoolie stripers?

Or....you could drop a canoe into the SF shenandoah and catch the 70+ smallmouth bass we just caught with the Missouri family in town ;). It's ever-so-slightly-murky, but fishing great. The real secret about the gunpowder is that there are "500 fish per square foot" or whatever, meaning your life is pointless and you should probably do something else if you cannot catch at least 40 trout every trip out there....

{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Schoolie stripers?

Also, just for those who may be curious, a recent trip to the gunpowder proved quite rewarding for those seeking for technical dry fly fishing. While we didn't catch the 18incher recently posted on the backwaterangler web page, we caught a number of trout in the 5-11 inch range that were beautiful as ever. The reward was simply getting a tight line after successful presentations (mandatory reach casts and downstream presented...

Hey! I am taking a group of friends up to the West Branch of the Delaware next weekend (Friday through Monday).

{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Schoolie stripers?

Just wondering if schoolie stripers are still an option for fishing within the city area these days, has anybody gone recently? Also, aside from gravelly, where do people go to target these critters? I have a friend coming into town who is hoping to do some fly fishing or light spin fishing and he sure does love bass. Any striper or consistent largemouth/smallmouth recommendations would be awesome!:) thanks again guys and hope...

It's a bluegill. BUT I know several old-timers who call all brim "sun perch." So that's where you are getting the perch reference.

Nice fish, Jeff. At first I thought the file name for the pic was your name. ;-) I was out walking my daughter's dogs on the towpath on Sunday and just upstream of Sycamore Island Club there must have been 8, 10, 12 good sized carp on other side from the towpath hovering in the water column.
