Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Canoe stabilizers/outriggers

I got an earlier set of these ( http://www.castlecraft.com/canoe_stabilizer.htm ) that were foam cylinders. Not as aerodynamic as these but very functional. I can stand with confidence. I also have a piece of plywood that fits over the gunwales to sit on. When I was alone in the canoe I sat backwards...

{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Thank you to those who cleaned fletchers!!!

As one of the many fisherman that enjoy Fletchers but could not make it out on a cold January Afternoon I want to say thank you to all of you who worked on the clean up efforts this weekend and got such positive publicity for the local fishing community. I saw the news coverage and recognized many faces from the beer ties, TPFR, and the larger fishing community. It is always inspiring (but not surprising) to...

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

The Cacapon is not stocked and should not have trout, However, the North river is stocked and I did catch a 3lb rainbow one spring about 11 miles downs stream of the confluence (rt 127 bridge) and about 20 miles downstream of the stocking area (north Mountain). probably over 20 years ago. The lost river (headwaters of cacapon before it goes underground in wardensville) is also stocked and has several tribs with...

Thanks for the input. I'm not on my own, so time for fishing is at a premium. I'll probably drop your guy an email, Rich; I've also corresponded with another guide just to get out for a day.

{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Motivation for a special regulations and delayed harvest sections

I use to stock accotink with DNR and had the oppurtunity to stock it with John Odenkirk a few years back and asked him a similar question, Delayed harvest in a tail water preserves the fishing experience. Stocking stops in April, but tail waters can hold fish longer than small streams and DH regs stay in effect until June. Or in the case of a small creek like accotink, it allows more anglers...

Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Cancun

Brian, DIY in Cancun can be a tough sell. The beaches on the ocean side always look amazing, but many of the hotels will string nets paralleling the beaches just to keep the urchins off the resorts so the gringos won't step on them. The lagoon on the western side of the Zona Hotelera has snook and baby tarpon in it, but you'll need to find a place to rent SUPs or kayaks. Oh yeah, there are crocs in...

{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Motivation for a special regulations and delayed harvest sections

In the context of trout streams that are not stocked by the state, what motivates the designation of a Special Regulations section. Case in point, the Hazel River vs The Special Reg section of the Rapidan. What is different about the Rapidan that warrants special regulations whereas the Hazel river is only covered by the usual 6 less than 7". Is this motivated by some biological aspect of the fishery? historical...
