We got out right before high and had the falling tide the entire time on the flat. I call it fake sight cast. You could see the schools moving and you had to either lead them or hope you did not line them. I did make a few casts to singles and doubles that we saw but got no...
{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Report from Beaufort SC
Nedak,Thanks for the report, looks like you had a great day. Can you share the tides and flies fished? Were all of the fish sight cast?I've fished a bit south of there (Isle of Hope, GA) on a flood tide with plenty of shots and plenty of bites, but fewer fish to hand than you. I'll blame it on excessive number of Wet Willie's slushies that I drank on the street the day before.DaltonOn Tuesday, December 15, 2020 at 1:46:03 PM UTC-5...

{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: pickerel
Hi Bill:I'm no expert, but two things I've read about and observed seem to be true regarding conditions:1. They like a moving tide. Slack tides seem to shut off the bite.2. They don't like wind that ripples the surface. That seemed to shut them off as well. In coves where we had caught fish, if the wind was moving the water they wouldn't bite. So we'd move to coves out of the wind and we'd catch fish there.Tight...

{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: pickerel
That's a good looking fish. Congrats! Have you found that tides , times of day or other conditions make a difference? I've caught fish on incoming tides late in the afternoon. I'm looking forward to a few more trips this winter.BillOn Sunday, December 6, 2020 at 11:56:07 AM UTC-5 jkg...@gmail.com wrote:I've had a lot of fun chasing them this fall in one of the tributaries of the Bay.

Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Wine cork Popper Flies
I had success using a dremel on artificial corks from cheap Trader Joe's wine, natural cork works too, but is more likely to split--had some old woodglue that helped. Sandpaper is fine too if your not doing much shaping, all i did was make a concave front though so nothing fancy..On Friday, December 11, 2020 at 9:18:11 AM UTC-5 klb...@gmail.com wrote:Talking to Chuck and William, before Chuck passed away, you should...

{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Wine cork Popper Flies
In my experience, the quality of wine corks varies greatly. Many are too crumbly to be decent fly material, or have inconvenient voids. So cork selection is the most important step. After that, you need the tools to shape the cork. I have seen folks improvise a lathe from a power drill or rotary tool to get a round shape. If you're headed to District Angling, you can stop by Cherrydale Hardware to see if they have Dragon Skin...
