Well done Bill. I'm a pickerel fan in the cold weather months. I generally use a 20-lb saltwater mono bite tippet to prevent biteoffs.

{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} pickerel

I have read here in this forum and a couple other online articles about pickerel in the tidal creeks of the bay. So after getting skunked on Stripers at Thomas Point Saturday I put kayak in at Jonas Green Park on Severn and went up to closest creek. And it worked! Got a hand full of 15 - 18 inchers by blow downs on the bank. Caught them on a clouser on 7 wt in the last hour of light. ...

Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Fly tying starter gear

Good advice all around. I'll put a word in for my Renzetti Traveler vise. Also, here's a tip for learning/exploring tying: It's not the same as tying on a hook, but I experiment with tying on section of paper clip and make colorful little flies as toys for my daughters. You can also tie on a safety pin. In any event, as i was getting started, I would use these as hook substitutes until I felt confident...

Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Fly tying starter gear

+1 for peak. Regals also seem awesome. I bought a 10 year old orvis tying kit for 20 bucks off craigslist. He even mailed it! It looked like it had never been used. All the materials and tools were there. I would recommend a quick ebay or craigslist search for used/like new kits, but if they aren't there, buy tools, and materials for a few flies you wanna tie. The vice lasted a few months,...

{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Fallfish get their long overdue recognition.

Hey TPFR-er's, The native Fallfish should no longer to be looked down upon as "it's just a fallfish". It has received State Trophy recognition status. The Virginia Department of Wildlife Resources (Formerly known as DGIF) has promoted the Fallfish to Virginia's Angler Recognition Program (VARP) https://dwr.virginia.gov/blog/david-legg-fallfish-state-record/?utm_source=mailchimp&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=nftf&utm_content=nftf_fishing_november2020....

Get the Regal, without the base its less than 200$.

Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Fly tying starter gear

I bought a basic fly tying kit from Cabela's over 20 years ago shortly after I started fly fishing. It was the cheapest one I could find since I was on quite a shoestring budget as a kid too young to work. I still use almost every one of the tools from that kit today, although I am a very casual tyer. Cabela's $37 basic fly tying kit (tools/vice only) has everything you need to get started. I have two opinions on the approach:...

Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Fly tying starter gear

Ethan, I re reading your request, you asked about a kit. Orvis has a basic tool and vise tool kit for about $60 that includes a simple stationary vise and a C-clamp to clam toyou table top and the basic tool set for about $60. It includes most of the tools that you would need to get started. They are basic tools but adequate if you are just dipping your toe...
