{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Miami area tips

I was born and raised in Miami (Pinecrest) and go back to visit my parents a couple times of year. While it is a little cool right now, I recommend driving around and stoping at canals along the road looking for peacocks, largemouth, bluegills, Carp, snook, tarpon, and other exotics (we have lots of them). Best bet is to target clearer water around culverts, even better if the water is moving. A lot of times you can see fish but...

Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Vacation (with wife) ideas

I would second Belize, El Pescador lodge is easy to deal with direct as well. Personally I wouldn't travel for bonefish, but tarpon... I would also suggest the keys for easy of access. If you really have no real budget I would look at Nervous Waters Lodges in Argentina, Pira is a magical place and you can fish for Dorado in Piraña infested waters while she explores the marsh system or lounges while someone makes her cocktails. --...

{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Two Medicine River-Montana

I don't know that section of the river specifically, but i was in glacier this summer and camped at two medicine. My understanding is that the section within the park does have cutthroat but the fishing isn't anything special. Mostly smaller fish but they are there if you want to wet a line. I did talk to some guys at a national forest campground just outside the park and they were doing a seven day backcountry...

{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Two Medicine River-Montana

My family will be having a reunion at the Rising Wolf Ranch in Glacier Nat'l Park in July, 2021. The south fork of the Two Medicine River runs right through the property with almost 3 miles of private river to fish. I understand this to be cut throat territory. I would love to hear from anyone that has fished this flow and Glacier Nat'l Park in general. -- http://www.tpfr.org --- You received this message because...

Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Vacation (with wife) ideas

Belize would be a great choice in April. Also easy flights to Cancun if you wanted to do Mexico. Obviously plenty of resorts and you could shoot down to boca Paila or operations on ascension bay. There are other operations near Cancun or Cozumel, not sure that they would be awesome but you could check. There will be plenty of sun in the Florida keys in April. Depending on when you go there should be tarpon. -- http://www.tpfr.org ---...
