Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Cacapon on the fly

the cacapon institute and the WVDNR regional officer will have the most up to date,  but it will likely be similar to the effect the high water had on the upper Potomac and doah

I've been wondering about how historic levels of flooding last year affected the spawn and year class. Has anyone seen research on this yet or know a biologist who can give me an excuse for upcoming trips? ;-)

Bill, there are more riffles and rock gardens upstream than the spots i have seen near great cacapon...That might lead to the a few more smallies.  and my 100 fish days have not been on the fly...and actually not nearly as many as there use to be either.  I think the recent spring floods, this year especially will take a little to rebound from.  No way we had a good spawn this year.

I have a cabin too . It's about 5 miles from Great Cacapon. I'm happy to find others with Cacapon interest and experience.  I fish for smallies too but never had anything like 100 fish day or over 14 inches.   I wonder if there are more fish upstream than where I am. I've had luck with wooly buggers, crayfish patterns and minnow imitation streamers. Not so much on top water.

There are a couple low water bridges near me for access.
