Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: How's the water at Fletchers?

Is it safe to use a float tube?

Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: How's the water at Fletchers?

Oh I've lost too many anchor rigs myself lol. So now I do what the boat house does. I fashion an anchor out of rope and a river rock. I actually have a specific rock that I bring with me because I got tired of searching for one each time. The best rocks are hefty enough without being unwieldy. It can be windy at Fletcher's and my raft gets blown around quite easily. So rather than chance it I now have a pet rock.

Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: How's the water at Fletchers?

Great report!!! I had the same luck yesterday picking up a few here and there. Nothing crazy! First time out on my kayak and I lost my whole anchor set up due to a snag - how do you rig yours up?!

Finished with six total, still pretty slow. Chartreuse was the ticket in the murky water. Lost one big hickory. For some reason every fish I got to hand was exactly 15.5".

RE: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Shore access for shad during social distancing

It should be open. This comes from the National Park Service

1. "Allowable Recreational Activities" means outdoor activity with household members that complies with Social Distancing Requirements, as defined in section IV.8 of this Order, and includes the sanitizing of any equipment used both before and after the activity. Outdoor activities should not be conducted with persons other than those from one's own household.

Examples: Walking, hiking, running, dog-walking, biking, rollerblading, scootering, skateboarding, playing tennis, golfing, gardening, and other activities where all participants comply with Social Distancing Requirements and there is no person-to-person contact.

Is area around Fletcher's now closed/restricted? I know it is typically not great as far as "social distancing" goes, but just wondering.

{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Shad Fishing Picking Up

Kevin and I got out on the river Saturday. Before the rain really started staining the water the action was picking up.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JEXSlEe8Cb0

Hope we can continue to distance ourselves on the water. Tight Lines!

Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: How's the water at Fletchers?

Looks like the weekend rain didn't impact the water level too badly. Little falls at 4.5 and only going up to 4.6, turbidity at about 10 right now, temp at 55... should be game on.

Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: How's the water at Fletchers?

Water came up a good bit today. Definitely some color which improved the fishing. Fish took the fly much more aggressively than they have been. By far my best day of the year.

Not sure what it will go up to but it could be shot tomorrow. I'd check the gauge before heading out.

Hi friends,

Hope everyone is well! Did anyone make it out to Fletchers today? I'm going to hit water somewhere tomorrow morning for a few hours and am trying to gauge if the water at Fletchers is muddy after the last two days or rain. If so, I'll probably head to a smaller trout stream that recovers quickly. Any guidance is appreciated!

Ash

{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Fly fishers for healthcare 1st responders

Hi everyone, this will be the first (and last) time I ever post something like this to the TPFR listserv, but given the current situation...

I stood up a GoFundMe campaign yesterday and called up my contacts at HUNGRY Catering here in Arlington.

We're going to start sending hot, healthy, chef-prepared (and safe to eat) meals to healthcare workers (ER, ICU, COVID call center) starting today, probably starting at VA Hospital Center, if everything goes well. We're trying to get beyond the "let's send a pizza over" to a more sustainable model for feeding 1st responders in this area, and then branching out to the other areas HUNGRY covers (Austin, Dallas, Atlanta, Philly, NYC, Boston).

If you can spare a few bucks to support, I think it's going to make a tangible difference right away. DONATE HERE.

And that's the last you'll ever hear about this. Scout's honor.

Respect,

-Sean

P.S. Oh, and who's going shaddin' this w/e?! This guy!

{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: How's the water at Fletchers?

Ash,

According to the USGS gauge, turbidity levels are currently fine and the river is rising only modestly and well within fishable range. I'd give it a go. Here's the link. You'll learn to love it.

https://waterdata.usgs.gov/md/nwis/uv?site_no=01646500

Here's one to predict levels. I have both linked on my home screen, that's how important they are to me:

Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} In search of new fishing spots

Have you given Mossy Creek Fly Shop a shout? Dry River is in their backyard. Their website has a few words about fishing Dry River under public waters. If anyone knows how it is fishing it would be them.

Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: 3/18 shad report

Nice, I've been alternating between trout fishing and Shad fishing. Plan on trout fishing tomorrow.

Had two hours yesterday morning where there was a slow but steady bite. But before and after that nothing. Ended up with ten or so out of my kayak.

Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} TFO Axiom Rods

Honestly, just based off of reviews. I will use it primarily for saltwater fishing and prefer faster rods for the salt and the 2x is said to be a bit faster. Some reviews also suggested the axiom wasn't as accurate at longer distances. I also saw some reviews comparing the axiom to the bvk and they preferred the bvk. Its all based on someone elses casting though so you have to take it with a grain of salt.

I already have a bvk so was leaning towards getting something different for the sake of it. If I hate it I can always sell it.

I was in DA this weekend but didn't want to ask about casting a rod I wasn't going to buy from them.

Why the Axiom IIX?

I have a BVK in a 9 weight and like it a lot. It really is a great rod but may not fit everyone's casting style. Based on what I am reading I am between another BVK or the Axiom II-x rather than the Axiom II.

While I do not have funds from TFO to spend on a TFO rod, I am in a similar quandary between the AxiomII and the BVK in an 8 wt for salt water and maybe some salmon fishing.

Thanks in advance.

I broke my TICR and Temple Forks is nice enough to give me a credit to use towards a new rod since the TICR is no longer made, nor do they have blanks. I am looking at the Axiom II and Axiom IIx rods. I typically wouldn't buy a rod without casting it but that probably isn't an option here. Anyone have thoughts on either of those two rods?
