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 day fishing.

Orientation to the DC riverside terrain was excellent. (Being part Mountain Goat wouldn't hurt transiting parts of this river.) An added bonus for me was the opportunity to get a clear view of the river terrain on the Virginia side.

All in all it was a great experience.

Thank you for your time.

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.

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!

Next Casting Church, Sun 31 March, at Fletcher's. 8am in the lower parking lot. Park where you can, we will meet at one of the picnic tables near the boat shop.

Setting a theme for this church meeting, fly casting/fishing for shad on the Potomac from Fletcher's. We will first meet to talk about tackle set up, both single hand and double hand: rods, lines, tips, leaders, flies. We will discuss casting techniques, and we discuss how to fish for shad. Casting a heavy sink tip or full sinking line requires some changes in technique and tempo. We will then walk upstream. The goal here is to show off the river-left bank and how you would solve casting problems from various locations.

This is NOT a guided trip. The goal here is to get educated on the river and solve casting problems for fishing for shad from the bank. This will involve a fair bit of walking, added up throughout the morning, and some of the walking will be on rocks with angled surfaces. Some of the fishing locations involve standing on angled rock surfaces. Tripping and falling are a concern. A wading staff helps for balance. Please plan accordingly.

Waders and boots are strongly recommended, though not required. This is NOT full wade fishing (that is illegal), but we do get wet walking thru shallow water to get to locations. It is perfectly possible to successfully fish for shad from the bank and not need waders at all.

Bring your gear, and we will help you rig up. You will need some kind of sink tip (10ft or so) or a full sinking line, fast sink is better.

See you there,
Regan

{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. High tide at 7:47am.

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

So it is looking good for Sunday. The water is starting to have that nice green color.

Plan on lots of mud to walk/hike thru.

Plan on rain for the morning, at least according to the forecast.

See you all Sunday at 8am

Believe it was caught on a spinning rod with Jig. This also occurred last week before the rain.

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, the day before I casted a 6wt rod by the same company (Douglas) that felt like a 7.

As much as it is the weight, what the rod was built for will make a difference. Best example is like my nine weights, I have sage method nineweight and a sage rplxi nineweight. Both sage nineweighs, the method however is fast action, very stiff, whereas the rplxi is a little slower and softer.

conclusion: if you serious about nymphing, want to do more tightlining and "czech" nymphing, get a specialty nymph rod - just be careful you may never go back.

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?

Change of plans on the dates, the March 30 date has fallen through and the kick-off party is moved back to April 13 at 1PM at District Angling.

The new date is reflected here: https://www.tidalpotomacslam.org/dates.html

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 for nymphing these pools, even though the river I was on is small the length of the 10 footer helped me do better drifts.

I am going again this weekend, BUT broke my nymph rod in PA this weekend. So, who knows what i will do.... feeling naked without the nymph stick :(

I know how much harder a shorter rod can be to cast, but a 7'9" seems too long for close quarters. I've spent a lot of time in the mountains and along those streams, just not too much trying to cast feathers into them. Has anyone tried the Moonshine Rods? In Murray's Fly Shop I would trust but their mountain rods start north of $600. Something i'm not going to spend. Thoughts? Wisdom? Derision? Talk me out of it?

I 'm foolishly going to try to chase mountain brookies this season. I say foolishly because I will wrap a tree limb in the middle of the Chesapeake Bay casting to stripers. Question for all the mountain men and ladies; what is best rod length? I know I want a slow/full action ( thinking about glass) and probably a 3wt ( for a couple reasons), but is 7 foot too long? I know how much harder a shorter rod can be to cast, but a 7'9" seems too long for close quarters. I've spent a lot of time in the mountains and along those streams, just not too much trying to cast feathers into them. Has anyone tried the Moonshine Rods? In Murray's Fly Shop I would trust but their mountain rods start north of $600. Something i'm not going to spend. Thoughts? Wisdom? Derision? Talk me out of it?
