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

It was pretty much ghost last time I fished Chain Bridge area about a week ago, though I will say there were two guys hand lining w bait off the edge of the faster current and they were pulling up one catfish after another.  Note to self - sink tip.  I will take anything at this point...

Nothing at Burke in the past week, but I killed it out there one night a couple weeks ago.  Bass topwater...

The river is off this year. Way off. My catch rates for smallmouth are at an all time low. Maybe I just suck but I don't think so......

Does anyone know what's going on with the upper Potomac? The gage at Little Falls shows a gradual, sustained frop fro about 7 feet in mid-May to around 3.7-3.8 currently, with occasional small spikes before resuming the drop.

But the turbidity hit bottom around the last week of May and has been rising ever since, and is now over 150, far higher than at any time in the last 30 days.

I ususally see these things move together -- rains wash mud into the river and also raise the overall level. But not this time.

Any ideas?
