{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Y'all got any big smallmouth pictures?

Thanks! Need to get out and catch some new ones this year. I agree about the pics. Tough fish to get a decent photo of and lipping them feels like putting them in some kind of MMA maneuver... -- http://www.tpfr.org --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders" group.

Nick - love the clawdad. Have caught a ton of big smallies on that fly. I also like that second shot of yours... I take all my smallmouth pics these days with my fingers not in their mouths. Don't get me wrong - I'll still lip em. But I think they look better with their mouths in their natural position. Meaner, somehow. More badass. -- http://www.tpfr.org --- You received this message because you are subscribed...

Just got back from my annual trip to quebec for smallmouth (and pike and walleye, but mostly smallmouth). First time I went that I only used the fly rod.

Depends on how far you want to drive. The Gunpowder is at a great flow of 106 cfs today. Reports of lots of sulphers in the afternoon.

{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Toronto in August

Lake Ontario is a great fishery. Never fished Toronto, but I grew up directly across the lake in Olcott, NY. Northern Pike, largemouth, smallmouth (might call em black bass up there), Muskie (scattered about), perch, sheephead, rainbows, browns, salmon all available. Trouts and salmons obviously aren't fly fishable this time of year on the lake, but there is great warm (if you want to call it that) water fishing available. Lake...

Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Fly rod combo

I'm not a big 3-wt fan. I have a few but I don't use them much, they are fun for 3 reasons.1) they bend more when you get a fish on, giving you more feeling, making a small bluegill feel like a big bass.2) On spring creeks or other water where the fish are really skittish, you can get a more delicate presentation. You can also do this with a long leader. It's easier to turn over a 15 ft leader with a 5wt.3)...

{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} 10yr old looking for first fish on a fly.

I have my 10 year old nephew staying with me for the next week and I'd like to get him out for his first fish on a fly. He's recently taken the Orvis 101 class, and can get a basic cast out. Any ideas of where we can go and have a good chance of getting him a fish. We're not picky and would be happy with bluegill and sunfish. I'm in Woodbridge but don't have a problem traveling...

I did a week at El Pepcador last summer, I can't recommend it enough. Caught a bunch of bones, had shots at bonefish and tarpon (can't ask for more than that), and the guide made my cast about 100 times better. Not sure what a single day would look like, I guess just be really clear what you want to go for, as we covered a ton of water depending what we were chasing that day.On Monday, June 29, 2015 at 5:00:30 PM UTC-4, Andy Thomas...

Check out El Pescador Lodge. Some friends of ours went to Belize back in December on their honeymoon. They did not stay at the lodge but they did do a fishing trip through there. It's also the lodge where the fishing series Buccaneers and Bones was filmed. The prices are not outrageous though.On Friday, June 26, 2015 at 4:06:57 PM UTC-4, jamie.charles1 wrote:Hey All,I know this might be too general of a...

{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Toronto in August

Last year, I decided to detour to the Credit River on my way up to Northern Ontario. It is a beautiful stream that runs cold all summer. If you search for Ontario Fly Fishing Maps there are great Google Maps based guides to the Grand and Credit. I have added them to my email hopefully they work. I'm going to head to the Grand in early August this year and then up to Algonquin park for larger Brook Trout. https://www.google.com/maps/d/viewer?mid=zmEqiORh93Do.kEs6DetnCDe0&hl=enhttps://www.google.com/maps/d/viewer?mid=zmEqiORh93Do.ku2dZbcqlIf8&hl=en On...
