{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: 2017 shad season has begun

Mike,

Keep your eyes on the NWS prediction of river height at Little Falls: http://water.weather.gov/ahps2/hydrograph.php?gage=brkm2&wfo=lwx

This generally will overestimate future spikes a little, but it's useful. If it the gauge goes over 5 ft, Fletcher's won't rent boats.

From my experience, if the gauge is over 5 ft, is that the seem and fish move a little closer to shore--the shore casting is still limited but is easier under these conditions.

This is covered a bit in this thread--wading is of dubious legality (there are divergent rules in the National Park Service compendiums governing this area) and it is generally not safe at all in this area, but it is especially unsafe during high water.
