Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Next Casting Church - Shad fishing theme

Might as well make that X3 for today's casting church. I was given some pointers and got in some casting practice before the wind kicked up. This outing included a lot of practice applying techniques to get unsnagged. While I didn't get much fishing in I did get one firm strike while stripping. Wasn't expecting it and missed setting the hook. (So for me it was a good day.) The Cormorants and Osprey were having a field...

X2 Many thanks to Regan. In addition to tday's mission which, in part, was to show us some of the challenges of fly fishing as long the banks of the river, he also gave me a very interesting casting technique for dealing with the 15-20 mph winds. Time very well spent.Sincerely,John BeasleyWarrenton, VAOn Sun, Mar 31, 2019, 12:59 Owen Williams <eowilliams11@gmail.com> wrote:Many thanks to Regan for taking us out today! I...

{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Next Casting Church - Shad fishing theme

Many thanks to Regan for taking us out today! I landed my first shad and even hooked another on a spey rod before losing him. It was a little too windy to do much learning with the two-handed after that, but it certainly seems a great way to get to them in the mid-river seams. Thanks again!Best, OwenOn Wednesday, March 20, 2019 at 6:57:59 PM UTC-4, Regan Burmeister wrote:Next Casting Church, Sun 31 March, at Fletcher's. ...

{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Anyone for Fletcher's Tuesday morning?

Tuesday morning looks to be one of those extremely rare days when I have free time and there's decent weather. I'm keen to spend it in on the river. My canoe is out of action, so I'll rent a boat. If you want to join me, I'll pay for the boat if you'll help row. I'm free roughly 8am to noon.

Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Mountain Brookies Armory

it depends if you get a 3wt thats not built for nymphing it may not be that different than your five weight. But with my 10ft 3wt nymphing stick I can feel almost everything, there is definitely more feel to it.so while generally the lower in rod weights you go the lighter/more sensitive you go there will be exceptions. I fished a 4wt 11ft the other day, also a specialty nymph stick, and that was also very sensitive. However,...

{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Mountain Brookies Armory

I'm curious what you all think about rod weights. I have a 5 wt I just broke after being dumb. It's out for repair, and I'm thinking of getting another rod, maybe a 3 wt. This is a newbie question, but can you really tell the difference between a 3 or 5--especially nymphing? -- 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: Mountain Brookies Armory

Whatttup everyone,I hit the doah two weeks ago and brought two rods, both three weights. One was the Echo Shadow II Nymphing stick (coming in at 10ft) and the other was an Echo Glass Rod (coming in at 7'6 feet, i believe). Why two? One for dries and one for nymphs, duh, but surprisingly I put my fiberglass stick away and was only using the nymph rod.Yes, the ten foot rod was a PAIN to bring through the woods, yet it was awesome...
