Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Paint for hard bodied poppers?

I suspect I will venture into poppers one day, because they sound like something "different", and the longer you do a hobby, the more "different" you seem to want to try ;). I did, however, just use my UV torch and some UV liquid of some kind to stick 1/2 of a paperclip to make a makeshift hook keeper to lower portion of a fly rod just yesterday. I hate having to use snake guides (or the "foots" of stripper...

Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Shepherdstown, West Virginia - Recommendations

Try the Needles section just below Dam 3 at first light if you can get up that early. Also the rapids at the Weverton section a few miles down stream from the 340 Bridge would probably be a good bet.If can get a copy of GMCO's Pro Series Map of Upper Potomac River ,would probably help you quite a bit in getting around the Harpers Ferry area. I think Bass Pro at Arundel Mills carries them, Dick's and/or LL Bean may...

{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Shepherdstown, West Virginia - Recommendations

Heading to Shepherdstown this weekend for the holiday. Anyone have any recommendations on that stretch of the Potomac or lower down on the Shenandoah? Pretty unfamiliar with that part of the river. Likely doing mostly wade fishing, no boat. Might rent a yak or canoe on Monday.

I love flying home. I get to see how the river looks before I go fishing.

Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Paint for hard bodied poppers?

Sharpies react with epoxy or other finishes. Craft store acrylic paint works great. It sometimes looks dull until you clear coat it. Sally Hanson's Hard as nails is good for a quick test, but epoxy is really nice. I've been meaning to try UV resin, it's expensive but setting up for epoxy takes time, so for doing one or two poppers, a quicker solution would be nice..Carl--Carl Zmola On Wed, Aug 30, 2017...

Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Paint for hard bodied poppers?

Acrylic paint from the craft store coated with Sally's, Liquid Fusion, a UV resin, or epoxy. If I'm feeling adventurous, I'll get out the Copic air brush set, but don't try to coat that with Sally's - it'll pull the color right off. Bodies colored with Copic markers/airbrush need to be coated with Liquid Fusion, UV resin, or epoxy. --ScottSent from my iPhoneOn Aug 30, 2017, at 7:24 PM, William Hea <william.b.hea@gmail.com>...

Floated from Harpers Ferry to Brunswick the biggest fish of the day was boated right around peak coverage. Coincidence? I think not. I'll need to test the theory again in 2024 though.

{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Memphis fishing

I'm echoing what James and Andrew are laying down. Alternate fishing activities will be more productive than actual fishing this time of year. The new BPS at the pyramid is unbelievable. Cozy Corner BBQ is pretty damn hard to beat for BBQ as are Rendevousz dry ribs and a Ghost Island Golden Ale to wash it down. Gus' Fried Chicken and Qwik Check are also must-eat at destinations. As far as urban fishing is concerned...

Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Memphis fishing

If you have time to drive 3 hours, you can do the Eleven Point River in Missouri, or the Little Red or Buffalo in Arkansas. Don't know about the in-town options, would guess you're looking at creeks and ponds. Also, you can go to the new Bass Pro Shop at the old Pyramid Arena.On Tuesday, August 22, 2017 at 9:00:42 AM UTC-4, Brian McGough wrote:Lots of good fishing down south a little bit in Arkansas.

Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Memphis fishing

Don't have any advice to give on fishing, but make a visit to Cozy Corner if you're looking for some BBQ - one of the best pork sandwiches in town and their banana pudding is the most delicious I've ever had.
