Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} quick visit to Rock Creek

Rock creek's limited back casting room (and the fact that the P street bridge is several blocks from me) motivated me to buy a mini rod about 5.5 feet long. Dan Davala was also kind enough to hook me up with a discontinued microliter orbits reel for it. It works quite well in rock creek though there are times I still have to sort of side cast. -- http://www.tpfr.org --- You received this message because you are subscribed...

Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} quick visit to Rock Creek

You inspired me to go back down there again last night. I was wondering how you were getting good angles on some of the deeper spots! I don't own waders and the only reason I've really considered them is because of water quality around here. I didn't see many fish in the areas I was able to get to, but I did get a bluegill. I also realized...

Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} quick visit to Rock Creek

Yes I did. and I don't plan to again, I don't think. May go buy a cheap pair of waders just to use in nasty water like this. I really was only in the water for quick moves across the stream between trail spots, and probably was more likely to get poison ivy and ticks than some unknown Water-Borne-Itis, but in retrospect, I have decided...

Klingle Valley is one of the few DC streams which supports any of the EPT species -- we dug a couple of mayfly nymphs out of there in 2009. Those are fun fish!

{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: quick visit to Rock Creek

There are decent spots upstream and down. I tend to think of the creek in 3 sections for my purposes - 1 - upstream of the Zoo; usually would park at the bottom of Porter street, near the blocked off entrance to Klingle street. There's fishable water right there, as well as up and downstream, with easy access from the bank. Fishing is...

Those are nice-looking bass! I live over there but haven't been down to the creek in a couple months.

Did you go upstream or downstream from there? On...
