Hi, I'm dragging a friend that has never fly casted on a trip to North Platte in WY. It'd be great to get him at least one lesson before getting in the boat in July. Just to make sure we dont miss a opportunity, is there any idea on when or if Church will be offered in June?Thanks,Ed -- http://www.tpfr.org --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders"...

Good morning,I have a back country trip booked on Shavers Fork in West Virginia (3.5 hours from DC) and have two spots available due to a couple people dropping. It's a true back country/outfitters trip, you ride in on horse back, mules carry our gear and then we stay in camp for three nights, walking to the river each day, and ride out on Sunday morning. The stretch of river is 10 miles long and in the past few years I've been...

yes, that side of teh channel, although you're not allowed to fish from the shoreline at the Wharf itself. I think you could probably get a boat up agains the tidal basin outflow into the channel on a falling tide though. Rock Creek is pretty sporadic for schoolies; it's an interesting fishery but IMO it's deteriorated somewhat.On Sunday, May 7, 2023 at 11:21:12 PM UTC-4 HermanyorFlorida wrote:Thanks all, very helpful. ...

I seem to recall that a couple of previous posts covered this topic and my dim recollection is that Gravelly Point is a good spot to fish for stripers during an outgoing tide. That being said, would one of these tidal measurement sites be most reliable?Willy Weather: https://tides.willyweather.com/dc/district-of-columbia-county/tidal-basin.htmlTides 4 Fishing: https://tides4fishing.com/us/washington-dc/washingtonGregg...

{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: The tidal Potomac at Fletchers and Belle Haven

I don't know about big stripers but there is often a run of schoolies that show up towards the end of the shad run into june. Last year there were fish around like 16-22 inches after the shad were mostly done. I assume these were not resident fish. Other years you see a lot of smaller fish especially up around chain bridge. Not sure if those are resident or migratory fish but a lot of them are like 10-14 inches. There...

{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} The tidal Potomac at Fletchers and Belle Haven

Hello All,Topic of conversation that came up at the PRSC meeting last week. Is there still a sustained striper run on the Potomac that follows the shad runs? Those gathered think there you used to be. I've seen people catch stripers while fishing for shad this year, but is there an opportunity at Fletcher's after the shad are gone?On a related note, has anyone fished around Belle Haven? I haven't been out...
