Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} New Orleans advice

Hey Art, I don't have much intel on specific freshwater locations, but the canals hold carp and I'm sure bass. And alligators. I have also seen people fishing in City Park. I'm sure there's bass in there. And alligators. The guides might be able to nudge you in a freshwater direction if you so desire. I know at least a couple of them go after carp (on their own, not guiding) on blowout days in the marshes or if they don't have...

{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} New Orleans advice

Heading for redfish in New Orleans. Was wondering about alternatives if the weather in the marshes gets bad and trip gets canceled. Is there any other fishing and guides in the area? Bass, etc. that anyone can provide advice on? Thanks, Art -- http://www.tpfr.org --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders" group.

{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Guided Trip Sept/Oct

Both guides look great and the schoolie action sounds like it would be great fun as a beginner. It also sounds like there's a possibility for some fish busting bait on the surface. You can't beat an explosion of water, so I'm all in. Let's see what my dad thinks. I'll be looking to book something soon, but will see if anybody else has other recommendations.

Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Anyone Need a Raft?

Not sure exactly how old it is. I've had it for around 5 years or so. I'm guessing 8-10? The bar over the front holds the casting platform off the bottom of the raft. There is a thigh brace that mounts to it as well. It's a pretty solid setup, not rocky at all. The casting platforms in the front and rear are key so you don't have to stand on the inflated floor. Works great for solid footing.Let...

{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Guided Trip Sept/Oct

It's my absolute favorite time of the year to fish the middle Chesapeake Bay! And he won't need to cast far with a fly. I use Gary Neitzey out of Kent Narrows: 410-937-8753. It's only about an hour from DC. Schoolie stripers will be the primary target. You may still get some blues mixed in. It's a great trip on fly or spin.On Tuesday, May 30, 2017 at 8:38:28 AM UTC-4, Greggory DiSalvo wrote:Hi...

{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Guided Trip Sept/Oct

Hi all, My dad wants to take a guided trip sometime in september/early October this year. He is a god awful fly caster, but would like to dabble and fall back on spin if it's not working out. I've been trying to get him to take an Orvis class, but his schedule and mine haven't aligned...and he wants company. I know I could certainly use it too. Anyway, we could do a smallie float on the Shenandoah or James,...

I'm still trying to find some snakehead to target and, as of yet, I haven't seen any in any of the tidal creeks on the MD side, to include Mattowoman.
