{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} The Luke paper mill will be closed by June 30

Bad for the 675 losing jobs, good for the water quality of the Potomac River

{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Homicide at Chain Bridge

That's terrible. Perhaps there will be a follow up story on the lack of enforcement of fishing regs and littering laws too.

Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} fishing with kids this weekend

I learned how to fish on the C&O Canal with worms. Go to Great Falls MD side and hike down. Sunnies, rock bass, largemouth, etc.

Typo : damn autocorrect meant to say there still should be some trout in both lakes ( Lake Artemesia and Greenbelt Lake )

Hey Phoenix,

is just the right ticket. On the Maryland side Lake Artemesia in College Park, Maryland or just down the road Greenbelt Lake in Greenbelt. There are Bluegills and Bass in both lakes ( what you're actually just large ponds ) also both lake are usually stocked with trout in the spring and you're still should be some in both of the lakes. There lots of easy Shoreline access on both lakes as well. No matter where you wind up going make sure thoroughly check your kids for ticks afterwards.
Maybe Lake Burke on the Virginia side

Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Lake Erie Smallmouth

Thanks for the responses and tips, everyone!

Art, looking forward to reading that report. I'll share with my pops, who is taking a 101 class at his local NE Ohio Orvis in a couple weeks. I'm working on getting him into fly fishing... he's intrigued...

Evan, I've been meaning to read your blog post! I definitely would like to get into more smallies here in our area. One of my favorite catches ever was a 12-14ish one near Fletchers I caught on a popper on the VA side of the river. He fought hard and went straight for the bottom. Can't imagine what it's like catching one of those big monsters!

Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Homicide at Chain Bridge

I was on the river above Fletchers and just south of Chain Bridge for several hours until it got dark on Saturday. I was wondering what happened there were about a dozen police, FR, etc. vehicles parked along the canal at the bridge.

Could be that the body was dumped there, but admit that I have not felt totally comfortable with some of the crew that is there spearing, netting and using massive hooks to foul-hook migrating fish.

Have thought about bringing protection and certainly will moving forward.

{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Homicide at Chain Bridge

The title of this post should probably have said "Body Found at Chain Bridge." Big assumption that the murder occurred there (still a lot of details missing). Sad story, and a little scary for those of us who frequent that area during the shad run.

{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} NCC-TU Shad Report No. 4

The latest Shad Report from Thursday looks back to some fine fishing before the high water. Turbidity levels are dropping at Fletchers Cove but may fluctuate from recent rain. Even with stronger flow, this week should be good and boats will be available.

{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Lake Erie Smallmouth

If you take the time to learn the fishery, you can catch monster pre-spawn smallmouth around the mid-Atlantic as well. The season for them in usually late March to late April (depending which rivers you're targeting).

I started a blog a few months back and we did a three part series on pre-spawn smallmouth. I think there may be some helpful info that could easily be applied to the Great Lakes tributaries as well as tributaries to large river systems around here.

RE: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} [off-topic] Crabbing with kids?

I've been crabbing in Bethany, Del for years. Frozen chicken necks are the best way to go. We've wrapped string around them, but some fishing stores now sell some type of apparatus to hold the necks in-place. If it's deep water or heavy current, add a little weight. Set the lines close to the pilings. If they're crabs, you'll be on'em rather quickly.

When the lines start moving, slowly retrieve to surface and have a "skilled" net-man at the ready. A good bucket is also advisable.

Loads of fun with kids. Enjoy!

Totally off topic but... does anyone have advice for hand lining or trapping off docks/piers for blue crabs? Looking to take my boys, ages 8 and 6, soon.

{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} [off-topic] Crabbing with kids?

Totally off topic but... does anyone have advice for hand lining or trapping off docks/piers for blue crabs? Looking to take my boys, ages 8 and 6, soon.

Thanks!

Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Lake Erie Smallmouth

Yes they come into the tribe around this time of year and May. Swing flies for them like you would steelhead and you can catch both.

Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Lake Erie Smallmouth

Yup. Great lakes tributaries will have Smallies come in during the spring - i have seen it in upstate NY. Have seen steelhead, walleye, SMB and suckers all in one stretch of river.

Throw clousers in deep holes.

As I understand it, they come into the tributaries for a bit in the spring before going back into the lake the rest of the year where you can only get them on spin gear.

My parents live up that way. Anyone ever fished this? Looks like a freaking blast. This guy said he caught 20 fish in three hours wherever he was... Definitely going on my list for next year!

{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Virginia Cancels Spring Trophy Season

https://www.chesapeakebaymagazine.com/baybulletin/2019/4/23/va-cancels-trophy-rockfish-season-urges-other-states-to-follow

To me, this is kind of a bluff. The Virginia Trophy season is barely fished. I kind of think they did this option to avoid shutting down fishing for larger rockfish in the fall. I believe something like 3 trophy fish were registered in the spring out of 700 total last year? But any bit helps and it puts pressure on the fleet in the upper bay to do something sooner or later.

Hopefully some tighter regulations up and down the east coast are coming soon as they are badly needed.

Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Fishing on the way to Philipsburg, PA?

Phoenix,

Penns has come up a few times. As great as it is, it's really far out of your way. Spring Creek could work - easier to fish solo than the Little J. Still a bit east of the travel route but not by a whole lot.

Despite attending PSU only 5 years ago, all of my fly fishing connections in that area have since moved away - can't help you there.

Hi Phoenix-
I fished Penns last July and loved it! Stop in and chat with the folks at the Feathered Hook Fly Shop in Coburn (http://www.thefeatheredhook.com/) they were a great help.
Right around the prison is Fisherman's Paradise on Spring Creek as well - there is lots of great trout water in the Penn State region!
I hope that is helpful!

Little J is more of a freestone stream with "limestone influence," while Penn's is a true limestone spring creek. Little J is bigger and more prone to fluctuations in water levels, so if that's a concern when you go then Penn's may be the better option. Penn's is no pushover though, and both get a fair amount of pressure.

Beginning of May you will likely see Sulphurs and may see some other big mayflies like March Browns flying around, and perhaps Blue Wing Olives. Consult a hatch chart, for sure.

{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Fishing around Pohick

It's been a long time since I've visited the forum! Hope all is well! I have next weekend May 4th to do some fishing. I'm considering camping at Pohick and fishing for bass and snakeheads in the nearby Virgina tribs between Little Hunting And Leesylvaibia. Looking for any advice on specific spots/access/conditions. I'll be bringing my canoe. I'm not sure how to access is LHC. Is there a decent way to launch a canoe there? Thanks!

To the extent "trustworthy" includes honesty about the size and number of fish caught, you may be barking up the wrong tree on a fishing board. 😁

The airport is actually within the Virginia State borders. DC border only extends up to somewhere around the mean high water line of the Potomac River on Virginia side.

The "Duck Pond" is within the Virginia State border but is actually National Park Service Land and part of George Washington Memorial Parkway. Seems the northbound GW Parkway lanes establishes the DC-Virginia border over Roaches Run inlet. So what is the position of the NPS on fishing Waterfowl Sanctuary? Do they have one? Is the act of fishing considered harrassing waterfowl?

Fish Fourmile Run downstream of the Route 1 Bridge and you are in DC waters. Fish upstream, how ever slight, and you are in Virginia. Again it seems the bridge establishes the DC-Virginia border over this water.

The weird stuff you find when trying to understand where and what you need to simply go fishing.

Legal question about the Duck Pond. A DC license does one no good there I'm guessing. No reciprocity? I mean the airport is DCA not VCA....

OH. yeah, i light that place up.......... have had some epic days recently and it will only continue to get better. Thanks for keeping me in the Know and do like that we refer to it as the Duck Pond to keep it on the DL.

With that said - how has everyone been doing there? Managed to have a multi species day picking up carp, gizzard shad, LMB and a few crappies!!! Gizzard shad scared the shit out of me, nasty fish.

The duck pond is just another name for Roaches Run Waterfowl Sanctuary, on the west side of the George Washington Memorial Parkway near Reagan National airport. It has a number of species including largemouth bass, snakeheads, carp and catfish.

I have fished it both on foot and from the canoe. If you're on foot, I'd suggest keeping to the south end of the pond - between the airport exit and the channel that passes under the parkway.

Park in the lot for the Waterfowl Sanctuary (aka the lot that is full of cars for hire waiting to pick people up at the airport) and walk along the parkway on the small bridge over the channel. You can either follow the path around to the water and get in there or keep walking along the parkway and get in at the southern end of the pond.

As for the canoe, there's a small access point along the edge of the pond at the north end of the parking lot.

Good luck!

How do you all get back there--on canoes/kayaks? Is it possible to wade back there? A few months ago I checked it out a little bit but couldn't figure out if there was a safe way to actually enter the water.

It also gets muddy. But it can still fish well when it's muddy!

When the rains come, the river muddies, and the water level rises -- e.g., to more than 5 feet on the Little Falls gauge -- is the Duck Pond still fishable or does it get muddy too?
