{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: pickerel

They can definitely be caught in Piscataway Creek. That dumps into the Potomac at Ft Washington.

Thanks for that tip.  That's what I will do next time .   I'm definitely sold as good cold weather fishing!  Do you, or anyone else, know if they can be caught in tidal potomac creeks?

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.  (Then check after every fish.)

Bravo.

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.  I did confirm that they can bite through 2x tippet.

I also learned that Thomas Point does not require permit after Nov 1.  A week ago the spin fishing buy next to me got a 25" at the end of the outgoing tide.  Definitely will try the Point next year.
