Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Wanna come fish the Elk with me this weekend?

What was the smallest fly that the guide tied on?

The Elk was great. Air temps started in the teens and got up to ~40. But most action oddly enough was in the morning. All on nymphs, although we saw a few fish eating dries and emergers. Netted around a dozen bows (no browns, although we saw a few), including a few wild/stream-bred ones. Lost one in the 23"-ish range after a long and jumpy fight. 

I confirmed that there are no sections of the elk that are floatable and inhabited by trout, although there are sections way on the lower end that are floatable for bass.

What sections of the Elk are good to focus on? Or is fishabke everywhere for trout?

Making a point get on some WV water this spring.

Best,

I didn't realize the Elk is floatable. Interesting

The Elk is a very cool river.  I've only fished it once, but I really enjoyed it.  Wish I could tag along, but it looks like I'll have to work this weekend.  I hope the cold front doesn't kill the bite for you.  Take note of the put-in and take-out accesses you guys use, and ask the guide what flow levels are good for floating.  Maybe we can float it again later this spring in my small raft.

The elkfisher. Unfortunately, there's a cold front rolling through Sunday (high in the high 30s). But when the going gets tough...

Sounds fun. If I didn't already have plans I would likely join. I've not yet fished the Elk. Who are you being guided by?

I'm driving down early Saturday AM, fishing all day with a buddy who lives out there, spending the night (TBD whether camping or lodging), then doing a full-day guided trip on the Elk on Sunday (you can join for ~$200, or just go fish unguided for the day) and driving back late Sunday. 

Not a trip for the meek, but should be a blast. PM me if you want to join
