Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} First visit to Fletchers - what were we seeing?

Thanks, everyone!  Good to know.  I might target them at some point so I can add to my lifelist.  If anyone knows what flies would work for herring and quillback, I'd love to hear about them! 

Rob, are you still collecting flies for the Mayfly Project?

Lots of quillbacks at surface. White perch will join them soon. Herring splash against structure along shore as they spawn. You'll get nothing but gizzard shad four hooked in this high water 🤢
