{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: The Tilapia is back in 4MR

I work in fisheries. All of the imported tilapia in US markets (which is damn near all of it) is fed a steady diet of antibiotics and pig/chicken/duck/human shit. Don't eat tilapia. Ever.

I caught a tilapia down in Saint Marteen, two guys hauling trash were watching when I landed it.  One guy took it home to eat. Poop eater plus polluted water where that one came from...I don't even want to speculate.

I'm 98% sure that's what it was anyway.  I haven't caught it since that one time 2 years back, but someone surely will before too long.  It was either that, or an unusually large, off-color giant gourami.  Sat was average, Sun much better. 

Still has hundreds of LMB, some yellow perch, bluegill, crappie, and a few catfish.  You can catch so many fish on a fly that they'll wear the point down and destroy all the materials tied to it. 

Saw a massive catfish meandering around, but I think he was blind (cataracts, battle scars). 

Just my opinion, but the outfall sucks compared to the other spots recently.  Don't waste your life away standing there when you can be hooking up on every other cast elsewhere ;).  Unless that's what you like.
