Hey fly rodders. I have been out a few times already for the shad run with no luck. I know I have to doing something wrong because I haven't even gotten a bite. If anyone have any tips on lures, techniques or anything else I can do to catch some shad on the fly would really be appreciated. Thanks peeps

Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Shad: Are we there yet?
Slow today. I was fishing on the Fletcher's side, upstream from the Cove from shore. Very few splashes, caught 2 shad around 9:00am, then nothing for 2 hours. Did catch what google tells me was a quillback sucker - hooked him in the face, not sure if he was trying to eat the shad fly or I just fouled him.

Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: C&O Canal: There's fish but no water
It looked like water was coming in by Fletcher's this morning. Not sure where that is in terms of locks, I guess it's above Lock 5.

Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: C&O Canal: There's fish but no water
Boo. So the culvert will be repaired this summer, but I wonder when they'll repair the log wall. I've never fished above lock 8 (by which I mean toward the beltway/away from Georgetown). Is there any good carp sight fishing up that way?On Thursday, March 31, 2016 at 11:42:09 AM UTC-4, tperkins wrote:Mark, thanks for making the inquiry! Hopefully they will get lock 1 fixed soon.

They will help you load your gear and maybe give you a push but you are really on your own. It comes with a rock on a rope that is used as an anchor.As far as it being easy for a single, it is if you have rowed a boat before.

A PM inquiry via the Canal's FB page received just now:"For now, water will enter the canal above Great Falls as normal at Violletts lock, and continue down to just above the "Log Wall" at Mile 11.2. Water will not be in the canal below the Log Wall and Lock 5 / Inlet Lock 1 for two reasons: repairs are required at the Log Wall and a culvert is being repaired this summer near Carderock.
