{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: 7 DAYS and counting -- TPFR Fall Fishing on the Gunpowder - Sept 25

Huge thanks to Brook Rolter and everyone who made this second Gunpowder outing happen. The water was so skinny I barely got wet, but Gregg and Matt put in the work and doubled up with some nice sized browns right before the afternoon storm in the Bunker Hill area.Best, Owen On Thursday, September 22, 2022 at 10:28:01 AM UTC-4 maar...@gmail.com wrote:Also I'm in the middle of DC near the Zoo if that is nearby to...

{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Loch Raven - other bass recommendations?

If you're looking for the combination of boat rental + decent chance of catching some kind of bass + within two hours of DC, it's a big list. It gets complicated since a lot of the boat rental places go to weekends only after Labor Day, so check facility websites or call.I like Occoquan Reservoir in VA, with boat rentals at Fountainhead Park (Fairfax side) or Lake Ridge (Prince William side), but picking apart a bigger lake...

{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Loch Raven - other bass recommendations?

Hello, has anyone fished Loch Raven from a boat recently? I have a free day this week and am tempted to rent a boat and fish for largemouth in the reservoir. If Loch Ness isn't worth the effort, are there other fishable lakes nearby (within two hours of DC) for bass? I've done two floats out of Harper's Ferry this summer with White Fly Outfitters and would like to get some more bass fishing in before the weather cools further....

Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Richmond guide recommendations

Dana, First the disclaimers, I have no relationship with this shop and I have not used them for guiding. There is a relatively new shop flyshop/guide service in Richmond called Current Culture. Website is https://www.currentculturefly.com/. As I said, I have not used them, but they spoke to the Falmouth Flats Fly Fishers club in Fredericksburg and...

{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Richmond guide recommendations

I haven't fished with them, but the guys from current culture fly shop were at the virginia wine and fly fishing fest in January and seemed like really good guys when i chatted with them. They guide on the James in Richmond and would be worth a call.On Tuesday, September 13, 2022 at 11:38:11 AM UTC-4 Dana R.

Hi, Not only will I be fishing around Richmond a weekend in early Nov, a friend from TX now says she will be in Richmond in late September. She is looking for guide recommendations. I believe she is looking for whatever the best fishing experience is (bass vs. trout) in that area) - so this would be James River right?Any Richmond guides y'all love?Dana -- http://www.tpfr.org --- You received this message because...
