Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Don’t ‘High Line’ Georgetown’s C&O Canal

Milton Friedman once said, "if you put government in charge of a desert there would be a shortage of sand." I guess the corrollary to that is that if you put government in charge of a canal, there will be a shortage of water.On Sun, Jun 30, 2019, 3:20 PM Yambag Nelson <northstreetwreckingcrew@gmail.com> wrote:This sounds like a completely idiotic idea but what is wrong with the rest of the canal other than it often...

Morning everyone, while I do like keeping spots close to the chest, this one is too good not to share with this small community.Been making runs down to Ingram Bay with the skiff and have been on a consistent trout bite when the tide and wind are cooperating.

Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Potomac turbidity

Could be water level? Little Falls gauge is at 3.5. I haven't waded the Potomac since 2017 at this point. I normally get in when it's around 2.5, but I've never had that much luck on the main river. It's beautiful but frustrating. I feel like I spend most of my time trying not to float away, even when the water is low. I've been focusing on the tribs where it's easier to cover more water. I like to hit an appealing location with...

For my money, the best place to fish is the closest place to fish. I attribute that to the fact that I learned to fly fish five years ago and for the first two years or so I fished where ever I could bike or walk. I have a few favorite spots locally—not because they generate trophies but because they are scenic and relaxing.
