Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Christmas Present Help

Josh, On that pattern, I wouldn't get too hung up on the type of dubbing. It looks like a fly that is meant to get down deep fast. It looks like beside the bead it has lead wire ( or since it's Orvis, probably leadfree wire) underneath the dubbing. I am guessing that because of the profile (and because that's what makes these nymphs successful). If you really want to know what's going on,...

I know how to tie a bead head caddis, but I'm wondering if anyone knows what exactly...

Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Near Disneyworld fishing(catching) option

I took 2 8 wts with me, and they were fine, could have used a lighter rod for the smaller fish. I'd recommend a sink tip or intermediate line or take a couple of weighted flys that will get down 5-7 feet if its cooler and you do a slow retrieve.On Tuesday, November 23, 2021 at 1:59:30 PM UTC-5 Andrew R wrote:Super cool.
