{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Susquehanna Float....What happened to the upper potomac...

Jason,
Your not alone in noticing the deterioration of the Potomac as a smallmouth fishery. I've fished it for about a decade and typically do a half dozen trips to tribs like the mainstem, North and South Forks of the Shenandoah a year as well. It WAS different a decade ago. There are simply less smallmouth in the system for a number of reasons but namely climate change.

Recently, MD stocked 30K smallies to aide in spawn recruitment, but it won't stop the effects of climate change that has produced more high water events in the last few years that have resulted in dramatically lowering the fish population in the Potomac (not just smallies).

"Several consecutive years of high river flows during the spring have reduced spawning success, causing lower catch rates for anglers. Elevated spring flows experienced in 2016-2018 have resulted in consecutive years of poor recruitment and low year-class strength. While the number of larger adult smallmouth bass has remained steady, there are concerns about declining catch rates after multiple poor year-classes of young fish."

Furthermore, I'll bet that when you floated the Juniata the one thing that you saw quite a lot of (especially closer to the confluence of the Sus) was aquatic vegetation and including stargrass. Cast over stargrass on the Jun and you'll get bit by a juvenile during topwater season on every cast. Dead drift a hopper or popper over a deep hole and you'll move an old big smalljaw for sure...but not so on the Potomac. The successive flooding of the Potomac has not only kept the smallies from spawning very well in the last 5 years, it has also SCOURED the vegetation where smallie (and other fish eggs) get caught that become nurseries. Basically, the lower Juniata is a smallie nursery. The tribs to the Potomac are suffering from the same flooding closer to their confluences on the plains with the Potomac as well. Higher elevation areas on the North and South Fork of the Shenandoah drain quickly and gullywasher rain events do not always remove the vegetation, they also have more ledge to protect juveniles. That ledge on the forks runs perpendicular to the river across a smaller width. In addition, some smallmouth migrate (not all, not even most) during the winter a few miles and so under stress they may not be found in the same places as the previous year. They also AGE slowly... a 20" 4-5 lb smallie could be 15 - 20 years old. 

When you add up the impacts of climate change and the rain events, the lack of vegetation and recruitment, length of time it takes for a smallie to reach maturity and trophy size, you can easily see it could be a DECADE before the Potomac fishes like it did a decade ago with heavy stocking (and providing the rain events don't get worse...and fat chance that won't happen).

Sadly, even the Juniata isn't free from these impacts.

Have you floated any of the Potomac tribs? I'm not sure you'd catch 25 fish in 4 miles on the tribs (I've never fished that much water at once on the tribs) but it'd be worth trying.

It sounds like the South Fork of the Shenandoah is fishing really good too and that's about 90 minutes away depending where you hit it.

{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Susquehanna Float....What happened to the upper potomac...

This summer has been by far the hardest I have ever worked for smallies on the Potomac.  When I was first beginning to fly fish, I would wade the river around lock 7 and always pick up a couple of decent smallmouth even though I could barely cast.  Now, after about 7 years of fly experience under my belt, I have been lucky to catch 1 fish in a couple of hours of fishing in the same spot...  It just seems as if the number of smallmouth in the river from great falls up to the confluence of the shennandoah have significantly diminished since ~2016.  

Having said that, I have always heard great things about the Susquehanna.  I decided to rent a skiff from the guys at Riverfront Campground and as per recommendations did a 6.5 on the Juniata river and took out where it converges with the Susquehanna.  This river is just a better fishery than the Potomac.  It seemed as if every cast there was 2-3 smallmouth chasing my fly.  I must have landed 25 smallies duirng a 4.5 hour float (however, about 20 of them were less than 10 inches).  Even though most of the fish were small, towards the end of the float I switched to a large articulated streamer and promptly hooked a ~17.5 inch fish dead drifting in a deep pool.  Other than that fish, I caught 2 fish that were probably about 13-14 inches or so.  To summarize, this fishery is absolutely full of smallmouth.  When I would take a break from casting and look down into the water while drifting I would see scores of smallmouth, carp, catfish, baitfish, crayfish, etc...the place is just exploding with aquatic life.  

Wanted to know if other people have been having similar experiences this summer on the upper potomac.  As much as I do like catching smallies the 2 hour drive each way to the Sus is draining and would like to have some productive fishing a bit closer by.

{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Potomac reports?

Camped at the Harper's Ferry adventure park this weekend and put some time in fishing while others in our group were tubing/ziplining/sleeping. Had several bites, but didn't catch anything. Probably because the fish were too small for what I was using. The variety and number of terrestrials I observed was astonishing compared with what I normally see closer to DC. If nothing else, it was fun using a bunch of larger patterns I wouldn't bother with closer to home.

Someone above questioned their own intelligence for camping in July. To any who would ponder it, I recommend getting a portable air conditioner (USB vaporator). Our nights were lovely. Nothing beats falling asleep with real running water in the background. Pure magic.

Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Potomac reports?

Fished the Potomac above Harpers Ferry this morning, got out early to beat the tubing floatillas. 5 smallies brought to hand all within the 8-10" range. All fish looked healthy, I've only recently started fishing this area and I'm much more familiar with the Shenandoah system. Are sunfish and fall fish present on the Potomac in the Harpers Ferry area? I've had a few encounters with catfish, they'll attack a black bugger or a clouser.

Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Lots of fish, impossible spot, need help!

Thanks, all, for the advice. I never did land a trout in that spot (although I got a big ol bluegill that I didn't even know was in there).

I explored a bunch of the dam made lakes in the area, some of which had decent smallmouth. So if anyone is ever in the area west of New Market and want some suggestions, let me know.

(Although what you should really do is talk to the guys at Mossy Creek Fly Fishing in Waynesboro, which I very stupidly did not do until the last week I was out there. Be smarter than me.)

14"! That's not too shabby!

I like to think of it more as "slow-motion partial bathing while fanning myself with a long stick."

Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Short Notice: Need Help with Kid Fishing Clinic

Will share the new date once it has been rescheduled.

Please feel free to reach out directly to Kurt if you thing you will be able to assist.

Volunteers are needed to assist with a 4MR kid fishing clinic.

The Four Mile Run Conservatory Foundation will be holding its first youth fishing clinic on Thursday, July 23 from 9-11:30 at Four Mile Run Park in Alexandria, VA.  There will be 15-20 middle school age youth from Community Lodgings' summer program, most of whom have not fished before. They are using youth spin rods (5.5-foot, spin/underspin reels, with a slip bobber and artificial bait). And they will be observing strict COVID-19 protocols as issued by the City of Alexandria for recreational activities.

This fishing activity is just one component of their Nature Explorers and Restorers (NEAR) youth program. Please look at their website for more information about their work at Lower Four Mile Run.   https://www.fourmilerun.org/  

Reach out to Kurt Moser (kmoser@fourmilerun.org) to let him know you can help.

Volunteers will meet at 9 AM in the 4MR Mt. Vernon Street bridge parking lot.
This is obviously an individual decision as it is not an official TPFR chapter function.

Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Potomac reports?

I got skunked on the smallies today at Riverbend (and even started fishing before 7:30). Saw three other fly casters over the course of about five hours, and only one had caught a small smallmouth (casting a clawdad with spey). Maybe they're wearing masks? 

Had to switch to poppers and hit the shaded wood on the banks to save the day with a half dozen 'gills. 

The water temp was like taking a bath. 

Best, 
Owen
