{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Has anyone done well at Four Mile Run recently?

Oh - gotcha. Still a great fish! I doubt I've caught more than 4-5 in an outing regardless of equipment. Those guys sure are fun to fight....I mostly used to use 8 pound test with a 6-7' rod.

I messed around a little with hair rigs and boilies, but honestly I got hung up so much that I never really used them much. I think I still have some power pro and hair rigs pre-tied somewhere around here....

Gene,

It wasn't on the fly. I used an 18 feet carbon fishing pole with a dough ball.

I used to catch them on flies before at 4MR, but they aren't taking any flies yet.

Don't know why.

Wow! 11 carp on the fly is insane -- well done! I used to love fishing for carp with oatmeal/jello balls on spinning tackle, but I've never even come close to hooking one on a fly.

That carp is HUGE! Nice catch!

One of these days I am going to hook one!

{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: 2013 Angling Resolutions

Good thread. Mine is going to be hitting a lot of the rivers in VA via canoe for smallmouth. Also, a couple of brook trout streams.

A carp in the canal would be nice, but I'm not expecting it.

With the new year upon us, I'm seeking to take new adventures: more road trips, new water, new fish…

This year I hope to
- kill and eat snakehead (still haven't)
- Fish 50 days
- Tie 200 new flies
- Fish more spring creeks
- Fish for eastern Salmon/Steelhead (NY road trip?)
- Fish with a guide at least once (never have)
- hunt redfish by kayak

Happy New Year TPFR!

Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Has anyone done well at Four Mile Run recently?

Howard,

It was nice meeting you out there yesterday.

I fished until 8:00 and managed pull out 11 carp. The biggest was 36 3/4 inch and 27 lb.

They are out there, we just need to figure out how with flies.

Tight Lines and Happy New Year.

Todd

I hit up 4MR this afternoon, it wasn't on fire, but the water was clear by the bridges with a lot of gizzard shad lining the drop off by the bank on the south side. I caught a few decent Crappie, one LMB and some sun fish. I tried by the outflow as well with less success.

Carp were mildly active on the surface, Todd Kim caught a nice one, which I got a video of (Todd I don't have your email address, but if you send me an email I'll get it to you).

A few things, mostly with the intention of restoring some civility here.

1- Brendan, I dont think the underlying issue here is what you are saying, but how you are saying it. You and I have butted heads in the past, but since then I have been really impressed with the contributions you have made to these discussions. I would certainly love to buy you a bunch of beers and pick your mind. But your notes have also had a very caustic and aggressive tone to them. It's my opinion that an honest apology, without caveats or 'buts', is in order. Take that as you will.

2- I think, as with most online conversations, the tone in general has gotten a bit out of hand. Some of the responses to Brendan's emails focus on points he made 3-4 posts ago, and some are meeting incivility with incivility. I'm not trying to call anyone out here, but let's all just take a step back.

Long responses -- to me it's simple. If hotspotting ("troutspotting" for the remainder of this message) pisses you off, you probably feel that:

1. trout are superior to other species

2. trout waters are superior to non-trout waters

Keeping secrets is perfectly fine. Listen. It's quiet. The silence you hear is all the people on the forum not sharing secrets, but also not posting angry messages about it when someone mentions throwing woolly buggers in pocket water.

I'll probably be dead in 30-40 years. Because of this (the death thing), and because I disagree with #1-2, I couldn't care less about troutspotting.

Plus, I love hellbenders.
