{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: New Members!

We convene from 8 to 11:30 in the far end of the lower parking lot at Fletcher's Boathouse near Georgetown. Waders are optional for Casting Church (but they do keep you warmer and drier) unless you are joining Regan in the Potomac for two-hand casting work, in which case waders are required. Otherwise we cast on the...

Terrific article! I've had success with the picks on the Eastern Shore, but I've been meaning to get over to the Severn and the Magothy to do some exploring. A quick search of Google Maps shows some pretty big water. If a guy were to put in a kayak with limited range, could someone suggest a potential launching spot? Not asking for your rock,...

The eastern shore mill ponds hold some very nice pickerel too. The ponds around Salisbury hold some of the bigger fish. But don't discount the creeks off the Patapsco.  Eric PackardArtist (I fish sometimes, too) Instagram @ericp132 On Dec 22, 2023, at 5:09 PM, Brookes Outdoors <brookesoutdoors@gmail.com> wrote:Thought...

{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} RECAP — Gunpowder Day Dec 2 - TPFR / TU

In case you are wondering …21 very aspirational men and women from TU and TPFR drove up, geared up, rigged up, and psyched up. For most, it was their first their experience fishing the Gunpowder.  The flow was low.  The fish were there but could have been a bit more cooperative. Although not a complete tally, a few of the beasties were brought to hand in the morning using pheasant tails, rainbow warriors, and buggers....
