{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Patagonia guide

I was just down there myself, and unfortunately I was unable to fish because the weather conspired against me. However, the guide I settled on and booked after some research was Tres Rios Fishing Lodge just outside of Puerto Varas. He's an American who has lived in Chile for a long time and didn't ask for a deposit in advance (and therefore keep my money for no services), but there is a run of king salmon in the Rio...

{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Patagonia guide

Sooo....there's a chance that I might be in Patagonia with my wife and her family sometime around late February or March of next year. Plans are still very fluid, but it sounds like we could be traveling between Santiago and Buenos Aires over a 2-week period. If this ends up happening, 4-6 of us would like to spend a few days (like 2-3 days) fishing. Does anyone have experience with guides in that general area? A lot of the...

Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Salt lake

Ended up at Mirror Lake. I have to say I've had more solitude during the shad run on the Potomac than I did at this lake. However, everyone was really laid back and I have never seen trout attack a foam ant as aggressively as a bass on the top water bite. Numerous fish going airborne. I lived in Colorado for 10 years and I have never seen so many people in a national forest at one time. Was funny, on the drive up you could smell...

Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Cincinnati not New Zealand

Art - Used to live in Cincinnati for a few years after college. The Little Miami River (LMR) is only a 15 min drive from the center of Cincinnati (located on east side) and offers some great fishing for Smallies, Hybrids, White Bass and some other species. One of the better spots I used to go to was just south of the 125 bridge (Beechmont Ave). You can walk along the shore and wade at certain points. Key in on the riffles...

Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Salt lake

If you're getting in the water up there, you need waders. I would get out of my waders and think they had a leak, but it was just my skin being ice cold. Unless you are staying knee deep or less, you want waders.The good thing about the rivers there is the access. Once you hit the forrest service boundary the rivers are mostly public access. Also, the roads run right along the river, since that's about...

Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} 7 Springs PA

There are rumors that there are some good trout streams up that way, but no one will seem to let you know where they are. They are all called noseeum creek or fishless run when you talk to anyone from up there. Let us know if it works out for you. It's the right distance for a weekend trip. Considering the distance from DC being similar I would look up toward central PA and Penns Creek or the Little...

{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Cincinnati not New Zealand

I would try fishing the tail waters of the Corps' lock and dams near Cincinnati. I believe there are facilities upstream and downstream. This is not the best time of year but there are white bass and hybrids below many of those facilities. Some have fishing platforms or wing walls you can stand on. I had great success at the RC Byrd facility upstream of Cincy with conventional gear one April. Fly gear is tricky with all the rip...

{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Salt lake

If faced with the choice of only one, I'd definitely take the 5. You'll want the bigger line in wind if you're in the Uintas. If you are fishing the rivers, you'll want the 5. The 5 just gives you more options. On Friday, July 28, 2017 at 1:26:25 PM UTC-4, Aden wrote:Ok, last question.

{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Salt lake

If you are fishing the Uinta lakes I mentioned, you wouldn't wade. You would generally walk the shoreline and fish to cruising fish (don't forget polarized glasses). You can also just blind cast if you see activity or just fishy looking places. In many of the lakes, the grayling and cutts are cruising around really close to shore. The tigers are often very close also, often with nose pointed toward shore--I...
