{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} BEER TIE - Mon 13 Jun

Monday 13 June will be our Beer-Tie at Colony Grill.

The fishing season is going well I see from various people's posts.

I was out in the Chesapeake Bay on Sunday, fishing with Chris Karwacki of Chesapeake on the Fly, and early in the morning I caught this speckled trout (see attached). 26-27in, 6.5lb female on the fly. A personal best for myself, and Chris said it was the largest ever fly-caught speckled trout in his boat.

Come on out and meet your fellow anglers, bring your fly tying material and your fly tying questions.

Festivities begin at 7pm.

See you there.

{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} CASTING CHURCH - Sun 12 Jun

Regan Burmeister

Mon, May 2, 9:02 PM

to tidal-potomac-fly-rodders

We will have our casting get together on Sunday, 12 June at Fletcher's Cove from 8am to 11am.

This Church we will work on distance casting and accurate distance casting.

Additionally, we will work on FFI Casting Skills challenges for anyone interested.

Come on out, whether you are a novice, intermediate, or advanced caster, it is all fun to work on solving casting problems and casting challenges, particularly for shad.

If you are just getting started, this is a great way to meet people who can help. There will be casting instructors on hand.

If you are preparing for an upcoming trip and looking to re-fresh your casting skills, this is a great opportunity.

{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: ABQ fishing recommendations

Pending flows, which I haven't checked and are (as noted) likely still in the runoff zone, the Ark is a pretty darn sweet river. I have a work trip in CO Springs each August and spend 3-4 nights camping on the Ark afterwards, hitting the DS on the way in and out. Outside of the meadows up top you probably won't encounter another angler at all.

You've got Hayden Meadows up top, which can be lights out if a hatch is happening, then a hell of a lot of good pocket water and runs down to Buena Vista (a pretty cool town in its own right) with plenty of access along the way. Much of the area along the road upstream of the Railroad Bridge campground near Buena Vista is BLM and available for free dispersed camping, too. If you get the chance I'd highly recommend it (again, pending flows). I can't speak to this time of year but in Hayden Meadows I'm doing whatever is hatching and/or a hopper; downstream I'm generally doing a hopper/dropper or an indicator setup.

Thanks for the help everyone! I'm looking forward to exploring both up and down river from where I fished last week!

Hi Everyone,

First time poster--and new to the area after relocating from Oregon. I've been enjoying catching shad, stripers, smallmouth, carp, and largemouth all over the DMV. It's different from the excellent trout fishing we had in Oregon, but no less entertaining--maybe more so, since I'm trying to figure it all out.

I fished the Monocacy for the first time for a couple of hours yesterday in the area around Park Mills Road. I found a few smallmouth willing to play, but the fish were in very specific areas (along no-current grass lines with a current seam that dropped into two to four feet of water). The place I launched had relatively few setups like this. I fished pretty hard along both banks and all around mid-current rocks, dropoffs, wood--all the usual smallmouth holding water, but the fish were pretty few and far between.

I was hoping that folks might recommend a float with more productive water. Since I didn't have a shuttle yesterday, I was limited to the area about 1/2 mile in either direction from the launch. If there are areas where an upstream paddle in a kayak are feasible, that would be even better. The area I fished had pretty decent flow and a lot of shallower water. I was able to paddle through a good bit of it, but I hit a faster riffle around an island and basically came to a dead stop. Not asking for anyone's secret rock; just hoping to find a few places to poke around and figure things out.

Thanks in advance,

Dave

{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Prospects for fishing near North Shores Beach in Rehoboth

I have family that has a place close to DE beaches and have spent a lot of time down there over the years. I always had the best luck at Indian River Inlet starting in the "North Pocket" (North side of inlet up against the rock pile in surf) and then walking/fishing north from there. Look for troughs/deeper pockets close in the surf as you walk. Watch for baitfish and birds action. In June I have caught schoolie stripers, bluefish, and flounder/weakfish on occasion. I often use Clouser Minnows at 1/0, 2/0 or bigger. My experience has been that the fish are either there in close and you'll get some hits or no action at all . I agree with the comments on having stripping basket; it can be maddening without in the surf. Unfortunately there is a ton of beach erosion that Rehoboth/Dewey/Bethany are trying to combat, so that may impact things as well (especially some of the trough/structure in surf that was there months before).

I'd say it is still fun getting out there and trying if you can during changing tides. I always prefer the incoming High Tide. Good luck Josh!

Thanks,

SCK

Can't speak to the fishing in Delaware, Josh, but you absolutely need a stripping basket in the surf. That is, unless you enjoy having your feet lassoed together by your fly line. You can buy a purpose made stripping basket, but it's not necessary. Go to the Dollar store and buy a cheap dish drainer or plastic basin. Drill a few holes and make two slits in back to thread a belt through and you're in business. Just make sure it's deep enough to hold line and experiment with where to situate it on your hips.

We are looking to head up to Rehoboth in June for a week or so and I was thinking about taking my 8 wt. with me to see what I could find wade fishing opportunities within 30 minutes or so of North Shores. I've never fished in the surf with a fly rod, so I'd be interested in checking it out.

I read through the threads on the forum about fishing near Rehoboth, but they are mostly about fishing later in the summer or the fall. I was hoping that someone on here would have advice on places to fish, species to target, patterns, and when to fish for early- to mid-June.

Also, is a stripping basket absolutely necessary? From my preliminary research, it seems that the answer is yes, but I'd rather not have to purchase one if I don't have to right now.

{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Prospects for fishing near North Shores Beach in Rehoboth

Can't speak to the fishing in Delaware, Josh, but you absolutely need a stripping basket in the surf. That is, unless you enjoy having your feet lassoed together by your fly line. You can buy a purpose made stripping basket, but it's not necessary. Go to the Dollar store and buy a cheap dish drainer or plastic basin. Drill a few holes and make two slits in back to thread a belt through and you're in business. Just make sure it's deep enough to hold line and experiment with where to situate it on your hips.

{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Monocacy Floats?

Hi Everyone,

First time poster--and new to the area after relocating from Oregon. I've been enjoying catching shad, stripers, smallmouth, carp, and largemouth all over the DMV. It's different from the excellent trout fishing we had in Oregon, but no less entertaining--maybe more so, since I'm trying to figure it all out.

I fished the Monocacy for the first time for a couple of hours yesterday in the area around Park Mills Road. I found a few smallmouth willing to play, but the fish were in very specific areas (along no-current grass lines with a current seam that dropped into two to four feet of water). The place I launched had relatively few setups like this. I fished pretty hard along both banks and all around mid-current rocks, dropoffs, wood--all the usual smallmouth holding water, but the fish were pretty few and far between.

I was hoping that folks might recommend a float with more productive water. Since I didn't have a shuttle yesterday, I was limited to the area about 1/2 mile in either direction from the launch. If there are areas where an upstream paddle in a kayak are feasible, that would be even better. The area I fished had pretty decent flow and a lot of shallower water. I was able to paddle through a good bit of it, but I hit a faster riffle around an island and basically came to a dead stop. Not asking for anyone's secret rock; just hoping to find a few places to poke around and figure things out.

Thanks in advance,

Dave

{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Prospects for fishing near North Shores Beach in Rehoboth

You might be able to find some flounder wade fishing the bay side of Cape Henlopen. Flounder will eat clouser minnows pretty aggressively. The ocean side has a few rock jetties that might be a good place to cast a fly rod from.

I've also had good luck with Bluefish and shad at Indian River Inlet on moving tides but they are usually feeding in the current rip which is well out of fly casting range - I needed a heavy spoon to reach the fish with spin gear.

I've seen pictures of schoolie stripers caught in a place called Canary Creek near Lewes, but it looks like you need a boat to fish that area.

Don't overlook the freshwater fishing in Delaware in the weedy mill ponds. I had an enjoyable day there last weekend kayak fishing Burton Pond, catching 3 bass and 4 pickerel in under 2 hours of fishing.

Despite heat, very good American shad bite on Friday and yesterday mornings, lasting until nearly noon. Get your fly very deep. Hard to find but worth looking.

Shad cam in Richmond still has shad going going by the window. If they are there they'll be up here too. Expect Gar, stripers, cats. Clouser minnow is all you need.

All-

May head out to fletchers to get some fishing in tomorrow morning. This is my first year here in VA for shad, assuming I missed the end of the Shad season? What's biting these days at fletchers? Especially given the current heat wave. Thanks for any tips/advice.
