Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders

Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} June 15-20 Chatham MA

Wow am I jealous- I just got back from a few days on the cape and the fishing is picking up for sure! I have spent a lot of time down there but never reaaally fished the Chatham area - although it is productive. If you are willing to travel I can instruct you on some productive areas in Orleans, Sandwhich, and Brewster. The flats fishing can be electric on monomy but I like to concentrate around tidal estuaries to take advantage of rips as well as moving water that can help to concentrate bait and entice heavy feeding activity. In terms of line I would say floating is okay but intermediate is usually also a safe call. Sinking tips are also a good thing to have if your fishing grab or shrimp

Patterns on the flats and want to get the fly down quickly enough.

But like I said if you wish for more information let me know and I'll be happy to expand upon any of the aforementioned areas.

If you are concentrated in Chatham don't limit yourself to only flats in monomy because there are slot of other offf shore opportunities that can be productive on the right tide.

Lastly, I would prowl StripersOnline forums - look for cape cod reports (can link them if needed) for information as to where the fish are actively feeding.

Hope you get tight!!

You can't get directly to Monomoy Island yourself. You have to either hire a guide or get a boat taxi. It's been too long since I've lived there, so not sure who's operating anymore. For flies, all you really need are chartreuse and white clousers and sand eel patterns for the stripers. An intermediate line would be ideal, but if you don't have it, float will work for Monomoy flats with heavier flies. Bring the sink tips anyway. If you fish the jetties, you'll want it.

Poppers are fun for the bluefish, but very situational to be able to use them. Bring steel leaders if you'll chase them.

If you're in Chatham on June 19, I highly recommend checking out the public hearing that is being held at the Chatham Community Center (6-8pm, 702 Main Street). They are considering proposed rules for the Atlantic herring fishery that will have a big impact on stripers, bluefish, and others including river herring and shad.

Cape Cod Fishermen's Alliance has a good primer: http://capecodfishermen.org/images/documents/Campaign_Materials/HERRING_BUFFER_ZONE_FLYER_4_reduced.pdf.

And here's a Pew blog: http://www.pewtrusts.org/en/research-and-analysis/articles/2018/05/18/new-rules-proposed-for-atlantic-herring-fishing-in-new-england.

There's a hearing in Philly next week if anyone is in the area and interested in attending, shoot me an email.

is it only floating lines or should I bring sinking tips.
Contact info on good guides. I would much rather DIY the flats

Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Fish Lake, UT

I haven't fished Fish Lake, but most of those lakes are deep and trolling (by hand or motor, fly or conventional tackle) is the productive way to fish.

But I would definitely find some forest service roads that follow a creek and just find a place to fish these smaller creeks for trout in moving water. Runnoff should be over by then given the drought they had down there.

If you want to explore the forest service roads, make sure to carry a paper map. You get out of cell service fast down there.

{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Trip Report - North Branch Potomac River - Memorial Day Weekend 2018

Spent this past weekend fishing the Savage and floating the North Branch Potomac with some fellow TPFRers and friends. Arrived on Friday evening and fished from 7:30 pm until dark and landed a nice brown trout. On Saturday we floated Westernport to McCoole with flows hovering around 950 cfs. We caught fish on double nymph rigs throughout the day and landed a nice rainbow on a crayfish imitation. We were on the water from about 9:30 am to 5:00 pm and hustled up to the Savage to fish for the rest of the evening which included a few more fish brought to hand. Both nights, the evening spinner activity on the Savage was very thick but didn't notice much activity on the North Branch during the day. Flows on the Savage were right at 200 cfs all weekend. We tried enticing a few rising fish on Saturday evening but to no avail, only on nymphs. On Sunday we floated the Barnum stretch from Blue Hole down to town. The dam was releasing in the 450-475 cfs range. Although we didn't catch nearly as many fish as Saturday, the water level and weather were perfect all day and included views of about a dozen springs that transformed into waterfalls coming over hillside cliffs into the river. On this trip, from all the springs and waterfalls, this stretch of river looked more like a spring creek than it's typical clear-self. We were on the water at about 11:30 am, reached the take out at 4 pm, and after a quick ride to grab the shuttle car, we were on the road shortly after 5 pm.

At the put-in on Saturday (Westernport) we spoke to a few guides waiting for clients. They mentioned that a few river features below the paper plant had changed due to the recent high water and that a fishing vessel, maybe a raft (can't remember), recently flipped in the ledge rapid close to Speedy Mart/Gas Station towards to the take-out. Apparently a rock shifted in the lower portion of the rapid and at lower flows could become an issue. We noticed a few changes on a our float, mostly some of the regular down trees no longer in their typical spot or the odd rock no longer blocking a route but didn't notice the rock they mentioned likely due to the higher flow. They also brought up river temps and fish mortality. With temps in the 80's on Saturday, we kept a close eye on the water temps throughout the day with the highest reading being 66 degrees at the takeout.

Anyone planning to head up there to float in the coming months, take a thermometer to monitor river temps and above all else, be safe.

And here's a Pew blog: http://www.pewtrusts.org/en/research-and-analysis/articles/2018/05/18/new-rules-proposed-for-atlantic-herring-fishing-in-new-england.

There's a hearing in Philly next week if anyone is in the area and interested in attending, shoot me an email.

is it only floating lines or should I bring sinking tips.

Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Snakehead

What are you guys using for flies to catch snakehead: any pics to share, what size hook? What is your leader set up? Do you guys use the Bankok braided leader?

Thx

The two I've caught on the fly have required very hard strip sets. Like, really really hard. Bony mouths make it tough.

Hook setting has been sort of mysterious to me. I watch bass anglers on TV feel the take, wait literally two seconds, then... yank! I don't understand why that amount of waiting is helpful because I assume the fish will spit it out by then.

Hi all, I have been fishing in new places lately and one such place is know for snakehead. I have seen the snaggers out in force as of late but have not spotted any snakehead myself. I'd like to try to target them on the fly and have been focusing my attention around mid day, falling tide. The weeds are not in thick yet, so I've been looking around docks and rocks.

Those of you that have had success with these fish. have you noticed any specific times of days, tides, types of days to have consistencies in spotting/catching fish?

Thanks,

{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: The Feather Thief: Beauty, Obsession, and the Natural History Heist of the Century

Just started it last night. So far the part about the British explorer/naturalist is prettay, prettay good.

Anyone else read The Feather Thief by Kirk Wallace Johnson?

Back in 2010, I first heard of the story of Edwin Rist stealing rare bird skins from a British Museum to sell or use for Atlantic Salmon flies either on this google group or another fishing blog. The story was pretty intriguing or odd, as the primary "expensive" feathers I was aware of were chicken saddle hackles for dry flies and streamers. The story of this heist kind of fell off the map and was reignited in this new best selling book.

I thought the book was a great read and included tons of details on Rist, the heist, and speculation on the current status of his loot. There were a couple maddening ignorant references for fishermen, including a reference to salmon spawning and then dying while the book is actually written about flies for Atlantic Salmon--fish that spawn and return; but otherwise I very much enjoyed the tale.
