The park had planned to shock that section of the Rose last year to catch and kill the browns.

{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Fishing in the winter

There are several opportunities for fly fishing in the winter around DC. Don't let the cooler weather get you down. Firstly, all of Maryland's major trout streams have been stocked. There are fishing opportunities as close as 30 min. outside of DC, and at least 5 stocked trout streams within an hour of DC on the Maryland side including Middle Patuxent, Little Patuxent (go to Savage Mill and walk down to the confluence and fish...

{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: New in town

Those pa creeks are a joke. If you are used to fishing the op you will be very dissapointed. Pa stocks a ridiculous number of fish and they can really stack up so you can rack up some serious numbers. Most guys are chucking and ducking. Ny has some better options for sure but the wild winter fish on the op are special. -- http://www.tpfr.org --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Tidal...

{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Fishing in the winter

Yeah if you are desperate to get out and don't feel like traveling a couple hours for what will probabaly be mediocre fishing, four mile run is an option as the water stays warm. In addition to the spring creeks ect you can always go up to New York and fish for steelhead. Not my favorite time to fish for them unless there is a warm spel but you can catch fish and conditions are less crowded. -- http://www.tpfr.org --- You...

{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: New in town

Vladimir, those browns are amazing!I have only ever talked to people about salmon fishing in PA, I definitely like to know more, like where to go that isn't crowded. As for steelhead I fished in ontario, those could be very different fish, but outside of size they were pretty dud fish.Maybe we should create a topic on salmon/brown/steelhead in PA. I'd certainly make the trip to have a go at those browns.On Thursday, October 25,...

{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Fishing in the winter

Although I don't live in the DC area anymore, I can provide some insight on this as I used to fish 12 months out of the year when I lived up there. In November, you can still get Smallies and Stripers and some of the streams in the area and within 3 hours are fishing very well.Usually from December - March (the time I assume you are talking about), I would either fish spring creeks in the area or fish warm up days for...

{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Fishing in the winter

I've been living in DC for about 5 years, but I've only been fly fishing since June, and I'm definitely hooked. Really bummed that the warmer season is coming to a close, but was wondering if there are places around here to still fish through the colder months? -- http://www.tpfr.org --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders" group.

Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: New in town

I wouldn't mind knowing some more, its a lot easier to run up to PA on a long weekend than it is to go out to the olympic peninsula. The last steelies I got out of the lakes were kinda dud fish, its as if they knew they were hooked and just sat on the end of my line like limp noodles while I reeled them in, but that was up in Ontario a long...

Let me know if you want more info on the salmon and steelhead fishing. Have already made two trips up and going for my third in two weeks with another planned in December.....I love the lake runs :)Sent from my iPhoneOn Oct 28, 2018, at 9:16 AM, robert mills <robertmills.arc@gmail.com> wrote:sorry I only fished rock creek in the MD,...

Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: New in town

sorry I only fished rock creek in the MD, didn't know DC would have different regs, makes sense though as it transitions to a national park in DC, right?If you are willing to go up into PA or NY you can get salmon runs that come out of the lakes, but from what I've been told the salmon fishing is combat fishing. They also have a fish they call a steelhead, and technically it is a steelhead, but the fight isn't anywhere near the...

Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: New in town

Hi Brian - Rob's email has tons of great info, but just wanted to clarify about Rock Creek. In DC, you can fish all of Rock Creek from Porter Street down to the where it meets the Potomac. There are some surprisingly decent spots in both the upper and lower stretch. I've caught bass, catfish, stripers, creek chub, and tons of bluegill in the upper stretches, and in the lower stretches anything...

{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Fishing Saturday

Any suggestions for fishing tomorrow in kayak or wading? Would back of tidal rivers or creeks work for small strippers? Or Kent narrows area? -- 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: Tampa bay/Fort De Soto on the fly

So last night as I previously mentioned I went night fishing The dock lights in around St Pete Beach and St Petersburg. For reason I can guess many of the private boat docks of the very upscale waterfront homes have underwater colored lights. Most of these lights had literally dozens of very sizeable fish in the lights and shadow line. Most of these fish were Snook but as I found out there were redfish and mangrove snappers....

{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Tampa bay/Fort De Soto on the fly

Tom, very cool that you've found some fish still swimming on the beach! For snook and small tarpon, I generally a leader down to 15 lb, and then tie 2-2.5 ft of 30 lb fluoro shock tippet on the end because their mouths can really chafe your leader to nothing. Trent found out the hard way a few years ago when we watched a 30"+ swim off with his fly into the mangroves within seconds of taking the fly.I texted a friend that lives...

{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: New in town

Thanks for the info, Rob! Rabbit lake was one of my favorite spots for the trifecta of a beautiful hike, good fishing, and berry picking on the way out! I also grew to tolerate combat fishing ship creek on my lunch break during the king and silver runs.It sounds like Jeff would be a great place to start. I've never fished a sinking line before so a guide that will both help get me situated with a few local spots as well as help...

{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: New in town

Hi Brian, I work out of Anchorage and Kenai a fair bit in the summer so I can definitely relate, a day hike up to rabbit lake or fishing the mouth of the kenai was always an option that I don't have here. A big trout here is a snack for a lot of the trout up in AKI'm currently down in southern VA fishing for stripers off my wife's dock, I've caught a few fish in the low-mid 20s, but mostly sub 20in fish, I've also caught...
