{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} North Branch Potomac (Wild Rainbows)

Over the past 4 years I have tried to get out and fish on the North Branch of the Potomac (below the dam) multiple times per year. I have heard varying reports as to whether the river holds truly wild rainbows. I understand that both MD/WV stock rainbows in the river as well as fingerlings. However, based on conversations...

{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: John Gierach, R.I.P.

Good Flies was a really cool book of his, for anyone out there that hasn't read it. A fair bit of attribution & brief discussions of the origins for a wide selection of patterns and some interesting back stories on them made for a very entertaining book.Most of all, he was able to not take himself too seriously while earnestly discussing his thoughts on flies -- aesthetically and practically --and it was a really fun read....

{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Potomac North of Harper's Ferry

I'm wondering if anyone has seen the Potomac north of Harper's Ferry since all the rains of the last few weeks and whether the fishing conditions might be decent. Was thinking about taking my canoe up that way this weekend. Am particularly interested in the area between Williamsport and Hancock.

{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: C&O Canal Water Levels

They're apparently dredging the entire reach of the canal. This came from one of the workers who I ran onto last summer around Swains Lock. Not sure about water levels around Carderock, but everything I've seen from Chain Bridge up to Swains has been super low. You can find pockets here and there if you're willing to walk, but it's really low. Interestingly, this hasn't translated (at least for me) into better carping conditions....
