Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Slow fishing

yea, tbh my main reason for not going for smallies more (it's actually closer for me than the tidal warmwater by a teensy bit) is that I don't have a boat and teh river looks a tick high to wade.On Tuesday, August 31, 2021 at 8:51:02 PM UTC-4 northstreet...@gmail.com wrote:One of the Trowe brothers from Mossy Creek was on Tom Rosenbaurs podcast and they both said that if there is a temperature that is too warm for smallies, they...

Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Slow fishing

One of the Trowe brothers from Mossy Creek was on Tom Rosenbaurs podcast and they both said that if there is a temperature that is too warm for smallies, they don't know what it is. Pretty much higher than whatever the rivers get to. I don't think Mossy ever stops running floats unless it is during the spawn. Certain months they probably spend more time targeting muskies though.On Tuesday, August 31, 2021 at...

Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} narragansett bay albies/stripers - shore fishing

I've never fished Narragansett bay but I've sailed it many times. I was actually up there last weekend and saw large balls of baitfish at the surface in the bay. We had herring jumping alongside our boat one night in a new experience for me. There is a lot of current and fog can come in quickly. I'd think you'll be best served getting in a boat for fly fishing, but you may have luck on piers and jetties if early in the morning....

Anyone familiar with the Bay around Newport, RI? I'm doing a 2 day false albacore trip, but will be there the day before and would like to fish from shore without endangering myself on slipper rocks, etc.Any pointers appreciated....Pete -- 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} Slow fishing

Interesting observations, I mainly fly fish in the Shenandoah valley for warm water species so my experience is limited to those systems. The mossy creek crew seems to revere august as their best month to chase smallies, into the first couple weeks in September. I believe they stop operating floats towards the end of September if I recall correctly. What is the water temp to not target smallies? I understand the reasoning...

Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Slow fishing

I haven't been out a whole lot lately but I second Carl's reply. I usually have pretty poor results until early October. September may be decent this year though since we have more rain than usual and some more flow and oxygen in the streams and rivers. October is one of my favorite months for warmwater species and September is usually one of my least favorite.On Sunday, August 29, 2021 at 11:08:50 PM UTC-4 Doug Graebner wrote:yeaaa...

Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Slow fishing

yeaaa that sounds about right. Also I had a short leader tonight so that doesn't help. I guess I'm just Rather More Used to trout where "pick a spring creek/tailwater" is always an option etc. On Sunday, August 29, 2021 at 10:06:04 PM UTC-4 Carl wrote:August is always slow for me.

Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Slow fishing

August is always slow for me. As the water temperature rises, the Disolved Oxygen (DO) goes down and the fish get stressed and less active. As the days get shorter and the water cools down, the fish will start getting active again and bulking up for winter.If you want to fly fish in this weather, look for areas where cool water enters warm, or where there are a lot of riffles to aerate the water. When...

Is the warmwater bite slow for everyone lately or am I just fishing worse than usual? -- 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} Suggestions for TROUT FISHING rivers

The Battenkill is in vermont and new york. Fall is a beautiful time to fish that river but hatches will mostly be limited to olives, maybe some leftover tricos. The tubers should be gone so that is a bonus. If you are open to new york the adirondack streams can have good isonychia hatches in september/early october, as can the esopus in the catskills.On Wednesday, August 25, 2021 at 7:24:50 AM UTC-4 Terry...

Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Suggestions for TROUT FISHING rivers

You can add the Deerfield river and Battenkill rivers in Mass. Also the Sacco and Swift rivers in NH.

Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Suggestions for TROUT FISHING rivers

Pay attention to the season. The general season might be closed by the time peak foliage colors have arrived. Also, fishing when leaves are dropping can be challenging.The major hatches will be over by late september, so think about nymphs or streamers if you are going later.Carl--Carl ZmolaOn Tue, Aug 24, 2021 at 2:52 PM June Brodie <june@consultbrodie.com> wrote:Hi folksI'm planning a New England trout fishing...
