Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} old sink-tip line recycling

if I have time and energy tomorrow I'll either go and ask around or give things another crack around 5-7 PM with a floating line-I don't think a sink tip or sinking line is really necessary with how low the river is RN, especially at low tide, and that probably limits your options for topwater.On Saturday, July 31, 2021 at 12:00:45 AM UTC-4 Doug Graebner wrote:I didn't get anything but I am also comically incompetent, didn't bother...

Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} old sink-tip line recycling

I didn't get anything but I am also comically incompetent, didn't bother going to fletchers to solicit a report, and was fishing with a busted sink-tip line when honestly I was dragging bottom so much a floating line would have probably been fine, so take that for what you will. I did see the gear crowd picking up cats up there. My gut instinct is honestly that you'll probably pick something up working the shoreline on the VA...

Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} old sink-tip line recycling

Doug — Not sure about the line, but curious about the action at Chain Bridge. I have been spending most of my time farther upstream, but was thinking about hitting Fletcher's / Chain Bridge this weekend. Is it worth it?

Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} first snakehead encounter

Snakeheads are invasive. People harvest them by the dozens and shoot them with crossbows. As long as it's sporting there aren't many ethical standards involved with targeting snakehead (in my opinion).

Dear All-I had my sink-tip out at Chain Bridge and it is pretty clearly past its useful life (like "the sinking head is actually coming off the mono core" past). Can I just deposit it with any line recycling location or does it need special treatment? -- http://www.tpfr.org --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders" group.

Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Middle James River and Rappahannock Guides

Thank you, Brian - yep on the fly - thanks all for the tips - I'll be looking up Eastern Trophies.

On the fly, or conventional tackle? Ever considered a float on Lake Anna for resident stripers? There's plenty of good bass fishing, too. Wheelchair access, and mobility-challenged boats and docks to be had.

William at Eastern Trophies floats the Rapp and I've heard him talk about the James as well.He has a big Moravia raft - it's comfortable.It even has a porta potty under the back seat I've fished with William several times over the last few years - he's really good - and will work hard to put you on the fish.He's also an excellent and positive coach - I took my step son out on a float with William last year - he...

{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: 10-year striped moratorium?

Given how iffy the striper population has been overall (even if I am catching more schoolies than average) this seems like a good idea. I don't think it's a panacea, and really what we need are conservation measures that protect the striper forage base and spawning habitat, but this can't hurt honestly and it's better to put in place measures like this when the population is at "moderate concern" levels and not "verge of extinction"...

{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Myrtle Beach DIY Fishing?

I was there for the same reason at the end of June! There are always folks surf fishing on the beach (esp at dusk) and several fishing piers in the area. If you're interested in fly fishing though, I did speak with a couple guides pre-trip and also visited the folks at the Orvis store in MB. They all said the same thing: tough to target saltwater species during summer months. Inlet fishing in the flats is mostly done in the winter...
