{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Reliable Source for OBX Fishing Reports?

Hey, long time lurker, first time poster here. 

I was just down in Nags Head last week and spent Thursday morning out in the channel/flats near Bodie lighthouse. I can confirm the trout fishing appears to be great as a number of anglers shore fishing looked like they were pulling in fish every few casts hitting the middle of the channel between 6 and 10 am. 

A friend and I took paddle boards out to play around in the little inlets just a little south of the dock and I spotted at least a dozen 12 to 16 inch reds on the flats and in the inlets. I hooked up with one, probably around 15 inches but lost him due to piss poor knot tying by yours truly. I was fishing a pretty sparse little pink and I think white clouser-like fly that a friendly angler had gifted me in that spot last year. Unfortunately my standard, weighted chartreuse clouser I had to useafter losing the pink fly didn't do the trick but I was still spotting and spooking reds all over the place in there.  

We saw some pretty great looking feeding action just off the beach on Saturday mid-morning but despite the pretty empty beach with impending rain we didn't fish since we left the rods and were walking with the families.

Word to the wise, bring deet and wear sleeves and maybe even long pants if you get out to the Bodie lighthouse channel early in the morning. I've never experienced anything quite like the assault we were hit with getting out of the car and we were extremely lucky another angler offered us some deet!

Heading down there mid-august. Does anyone know a location where I can find reliable, up to date info on the fishing? Inshore or surf. Thanks!
