{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Belize for Christmas

Awesome, thanks a lot John. Very helpful. Real excited as well, first time on any kind of flats and look forward to the great environment. Only other question I have would be about wading boots when walking down the stretch of secret beach. I have some slip on water shoes with a pretty solid bottom to it but the topside is mostly a mesh like material. Would I be fine with these or opt for the more protective boot style shoe given...

{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Belize for Christmas

Hey Dylan, I just was down there last winter for New Years, you're in for a phenomenal trip. I also brought all my gear and had no problems with TSA. I would however recommend bringing a lockable suitcase, a couple other folks in my group had a problem with one of the local airlines rummaging through their bags and taking some stuff. Here are my recommendations as far as fishing goes: That time of year tends to have a pretty...

{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Bahamas- Long Island

Finally got around to planning our honeymoon and we are going to the Bahamas for a week around Presidents day. Has anyone ever fished Long Island?Seems to be pretty fishy and not to pressured based off what I can find on the internet. I will probably hire a guide for a half day or full day but hope to do get into some DIY action as well. If any one has fly recommendations or locations to try that would be great. Staying at...

{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: South Cocoa Beach in December?

I am sure you will find some fish off the beach, white clousers and deceivers from size 2-2/0 should do the trick. At least that's what works for me around Christmas time in Stuart, FL. Walk the beach and look for any structure you see, or birds working, or fish in the surf. Or just blind cast and you may get lucky. If you can rent a kayak, go explore the rivers a bit, should be some fun and interesting fish back there too. On...
