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.

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...

{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.On Monday, April 29, 2019 at 10:58:25 AM UTC-4, tperkins wrote:That's crazy!

{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...

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"...

{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.

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.

{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Lake Erie Smallmouth

I took the attached picture from an Ohio fly fishing Facebook group... It seems like a lot of folks up there on Lake Erie are catching these massive smallies in the rivers right now. 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...

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...

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!...
