@Andrew S, The day I was there I did see quite a few damsel and dragonflies on the canal side foliage. Next time I'll bring some nymphs that are dragonfly/damsel nymphish.

@ Jeffery,Heck, I like mulberries too. I try to fish Holmes Run when mulberries are ripening.

Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Help -- Carp Fishing C&O Canal Advice

For the mulberries, they're super fun since you're catching carp on topwater, but you're extremely unlikely to catch carp on them unless you're fishing under a mulberry tree that's dropping berries.

Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Sling packs

Just wanted to jump in to say that I really like my Simms Freestone Ambi Tactical Sling that I picked up at District Angling (specs are here: https://www.simmsfishing.com/freestone-ambi-tactical-sling-s19). It converts to either shoulder and is extremely lightweight, but more importantly, it makes me think about what I need to carry for that day. Not waterproof, but it does dry quickly (ask me how I know). Best, OwenOn...

Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Help -- Carp Fishing C&O Canal Advice

I have a similar net. It folds up so it has a decent size bag but easily fits in my car or on my bike. I also find spots where I can slide down the bank to get closer to the water to land the carp. Doesn't always work. Bikes are a great way to explore a lot of water on the canal to find where the carp are active/water quality is good. -- http://www.tpfr.org --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google...

Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Sling packs

Sorry it's taken so long to chime in. Been awful busy here. Sling bags have pluses and minuses, and you guys rely on us to help you figure them out. Here are a couple of things to consider: The majority of the freshwater fly fishermen in the United States are right handed. When changing your flies, right-handed caters usually tuck the rod up under the right armpit, holding it in place.Right-handed people...

Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Help -- Carp Fishing C&O Canal Advice

Thinking more, specifically about the bank diggers... whenever possible, try to be out of the line of sight - both you and the rod tip. Not always possible, but if you can your chances go up. Same thing with your shadow - casting a sudden shadow over the fish can spook it too.On Wed, Jun 24, 2020 at 2:22 PM Daniel Lazenby <dlazenby4@gmail.com> wrote:I'd been told they are a challenge to catch.
