Search the forum for wading discussions. Don't go through the tunnel in your boat. It's full of spider webs. Cold water where roaches stream enters. Hot water where pentagon effluent enters.

Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Roaches Run and 1wt bluegills (separate)

The south end of it used to be fairly wadeable, but I haven't tried in several years. I imagine that it's still possible to get in the water and fish the water coming in from Gravelly Point. I can't say whether or not it's legal, though. Not sure. On Wed, Jun 29, 2022 at 1:44 PM Doug Graebner <dgraebner1@gmail.com> wrote:followup Q: how possible is it to wade/fish from shore there?

Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Roaches Run and 1wt bluegills (separate)

It's rare for it to be clear - in the dozen or so times that I've fished it, I think only one or twice has it been clear water. It's mostly brown with very little visibility. If you're fishing around the connection to Gravelly Point, I prefer an incoming tide. As for the rest of the pond, I'm not sure it matters. Launching/Landing your boat will definitely be easiest at high tide, that much I know. On Wed, Jun 29, 2022...

Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Roaches Run and 1wt bluegills (separate)

Thanks, Scott. Is it better at high or low tide? how impacted is the water clarity by the Potomac?

Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Roaches Run and 1wt bluegills (separate)

Yes, Roaches Run is worth fishing and it's fairly easy to launch a kayak, at least it always has been. It IS impacted by tides. In fact, the flow of water through the tunnel under GW Parkway (connecting Roaches Run to Gravelly Point) switches direction, depending on if the tide is coming in or going out. There is an unmaintained soft launch at the north end of the parking lot. You can find largemouth bass,...

I was fishing away at a local lake, and had caught a ton of panfish (couple of doubles) when something grabbed by nymph and started dragging my kayak out toward the center of the lake. I thought...

{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Anybody interested in joining me on a Shenandoah or Rappahannock Float This Week?

Hey there TPFR - I was supposed to be going to Maine to fish this week, but had to cancel because my fishing partner broke a rib. So, I'm here in DC, and trying to make the best of it by at least making a couple of day trips. Anybody interested in joining me for a float on the Shenandoah or Rappahanock (or maybe the Juniata) this week? My plan would be to rent a kayak from one of the outfitters and use...

{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Car break ins at Fetchers

Just a heads up to make sure you lock your car and don't leave any valuables inside if you are fishing at fletchers. I got my car broken into yesterday evening in the upper lot. Car was unattended for only 45 minutes so they were likely stalking it. -- http://www.tpfr.org --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders" group.

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

Thanks for all the advice. I didn't have a lot of luck while I was there (my lack of stripping basket was probably to blame), but I'm definitely up for trying again. If anyone else is looking to go, the beaches weren't bad at all - at least on the north end. I'm guessing they brought in a bunch of sand before memorial day weekend.

Hi All,Planning to fish the Georgetown canal early next week targeting carp and whatever else there is to catch. Any pointers on where/where not to go?

I'm sure that will do the trick, Greg. (We'll visit you in the hospital 😀)Seriously though, great notice, and thanks for forwarding. In general, I also give the streams and rivers 2-3 days after any heavy rain event to let the e. coli and other bugs settle down. Hope to fish with you again soon!Best, OwenOn Monday, June 6, 2022...
