{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: trout streams

Awesome read. Didn't know about the closure of the delayed harvest area. Hopefully that will reopen soon.

Basically, I'd suggest focusing on thermally stable waters like tailwaters or spring creeks this time of year.

Good luck!

Hi Forks,
Sorry for the short notice. There will be a TPFR Outing this Sunday November 21st. Catoctin Park Trout Outing. Rally point will be at the Catoctin Park visitor center parking lot 8:00 a.m.ish Sunday morning.

Small stream trout fishing, there will be an option of fishing Big Hunting Creek and Owens Creek. Both are catch and release streams. You will need to have a valid Maryland fishing license and trout stamp.

If there is interest after fishing we can head to Dan's Restaurant and Tap room for a brew and a bite to eat.

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.

I fished the ponds at Osceola OutBack Adventures - only place in North America where you can catch Australian Barrimundi. 3 hour guided fishing. For me, it trumped EPCOT, where the rest of my family was for the day.

Slower day, (hot best) but I still caught 40 fish in 3 hours, see attached 9 lb fish that jumped like a tarpon, pulled like a big redfish and were generally delightful. 3 ponds with various sized fish (they raise them for restaurants). The most active pond had 2-4 pound fish attacking a big popper - 7 or 8 grabs/cast if you didn't hook up.

I did all fly fishing, but spinning gear works as well. Their mouths are so abrasive that you need to retie every cast if they get to the leader (a few were lip hooks, but because we were slow stripping, others inhaled it deeper.

It was a great experience, Christina and Mike were super guides. If you are short on time or want to be sure you catch some fish, check it out. You can also do as an individual versus having to have a partner along. They also have bass (largemouth and peacocks) available.
