Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Holmes Run

Dylan, That delayed harvest run was only stocked (yesterday) Wednesday. Nice size browns (I think). The stocked fish seemed more stressed than usual.

{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Holmes Run

They're there. I fished yesterday with a wooly bugger, but only had one hit over a fairly long time fishing. I came back today and caught one in about an hour on a nymph - (thanks to the guy who gave it to me)! There are fish holding throughout the section directly downstream from the dam. I saw trout near the first and second bridges, and caught mine right at the first creek crossing. I haven't gone farther downstream since the...

{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Maryland Brook Trout Plan Update

Hey Jamie,Agree - when they identify the strong populations with good access, those are places that can be used to increase awareness of brook trout and the benefits of protecting them. What is kind of scary in MD is those central region fish may be a bit different from the ones in Catoctin Mtn and Western MD. These are brook trout that have found a way to survive at low elevations and often as low density populations. They...

If my intel is correct, it may happen on Wednesday, 30th. Check the DGIF stocking site a previous respondent sent over the coming days. Also, check with Mossy to see if they have any availability on Susie Q farm. It was fishing well this weekend.

They have not stocked it yet. BUT they have stocked plenty of other creeks around! you can check the daily trout stocking here - https://www.dgif.virginia.gov/fishing/trout-stocking-schedule/they may wait until later in the year to do so, who knows, maybe when temps get colder?

This is an awesome update, Andrew. Thank you for sharing. I've learned a ton from your analysis and reading reports like this. It makes me think of an article I read a few months ago from northeast Ohio, where I grew up. There are just a few small native brook trout streams in all of Ohio, which are protected essentially under secrecy. Fishing for them is illegal and the state DNR is just trying to keep them from extinction...

{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Drought

Good call, Jamie. I find that fall trout fishing on the smallest streams in MD is not worth the effort most years. It tends to be on the dry side. Even if it rains, fish stay huddled up in summer refuge pools until the spawn, at which point they should be left alone anyway. Beaver and the Gunpowder are basically the only options this time of year unless you feel like driving to Garrett County.I don't believe this drought is long...

{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Drought

I checked out a small Maryland trout stream yesterday and it looked terrible. I'm going to stay away from water like that until we get rain. I went to the Monocacy near the battlefield instead and had a really good time. It was my first time there. No monsters but tons of action (smallies and sunfish) and the wading was easy. Great learning experience. Probably my best outing in terms of number of fish caught all year. I know...

How has this drought effected your fishing? Last year at this time we'd get more rain in a day than we've had in several months. Accotink Creek in the delayed harvest section is really low. The Occoquan Reservoir is four feet below spring levels. The top of the tidal section of Four Mile Run has been rather gross during high and low tide with not much coming downstream to flush it out. I don't fish trout but I imagine some...
