{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Park streams

I fished there on Thursday. Fishing was decent but not many bugs. Fish seemed a bit sluggish but I still caught plenty on dries.I've only fished the north river once and didn't find it to be anything worth a special drive.On Sunday, March 28, 2021 at 8:54:57 PM UTC-4 Terry C wrote:Hi all, my son Colin in in town for a few days.

Hi all, my son Colin in in town for a few days. He's wanting to do some Brookie fishing. His plan was to head down to the North River. I can't go , also think he is driving past a ton of good fishing. Anyone been in the park lately and have any suggestions for him.

Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Fly lines for shad

Mark and Others:Thanks for the reply. For the first time this year I'm using a two-handed fly rod to fish for them from shore. I have to admit that by doing some spey/roll casting (although I'm not very good at it), its nice not having to worry about my backcast. However, I don't think my sink tip was heavy enough. I went Thursday after work and while the spin guys around me caught fish but I got skunked. ...

Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Fly lines for shad

For boat fishing you will need a sinking portion from 24 to 30 ft. long. I call this a shooting head even if it comes integrated into the line. My line is not integrated so I can handle different river depths, conditions and locations. My running line is an intermediate sink version so you could say the assembled line is "full sink". I get down very deep to American shad, often missing the hickories altogether. Integrated lines...

Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Luray and Front Royal recommendations

I fish both forks frequently and can definitely steer you to some wonderful spots: parking, reasonably easy wading and decent fishing. I'd argue the fishing WAS great but has suffered severely over the past 5-10 years specifically due to high water events during spawn. There are still plenty of smallies, fallfish, brim - even rock bass are making a slight comeback however the size and overall numbers are down. I find the...

{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Luray and Front Royal recommendations

Its kind of early but both forks of the shenandoah are great for smallmouth. There are a number of operations near front royal that rent canoes and will shuttle you. Not sure if they are open yet. You are also close to the park and the brook trout fishing is starting to pick up.On Thursday, March 25, 2021 at 3:37:39 PM UTC-4 j.spence...@gmail.com wrote:I've been volunteering at vaccination clinics in Luray...

{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Luray and Front Royal recommendations

Thanks for doing this important work!It's about a half hour drive from either Luray or Front Royal, but for the last two summers, I've been loving the intimacy of the North Fork, especially Seven Bends State Park near Woodstock, which has two main access points. The smallmouth aren't huge, but the water is varied over this short stretch, and it's wadeable anytime the flow is below 500 on the Strasburg USGS gauge. On Thursday,...

Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Snakehead fishing near Mattawoman creek

Nope! That's one of the best things about snakehead. Not only have they inhabited shallow, low oxygen water where there really weren't any game opportunities in the past, but they also bite aggressively all summer long. I will say that they are harder to catch as the summer wears on. By August, the spatterdock and hydrilla beds are VERY thick and harder to find open holes/channels where you can pull a fly...
