{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Sea Lamprey

I planned to write asking anyone who finds one of these in the Potomac to please let us all know ASAP, but on second thought, I might prefer not to know...

Maybe it's time to invest in Kevlar waders...

P.S. I can see the next made for TV movie now... Frankenfish vs. Sea Lamprey!

Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Club Casting Clinic Sunday, March 3 and other upcoming events

I live in Dupont and I am hoping to go. I'd be happy to give you a ride.

Unfortunately, I won't know if I can make it until Saturday afternoon. I'll let you know.

Hey guys,

I am planning on attending, and was going to bike there as I don't own a car. But then I thought I would check to see if anyone is going to be driving from the Dupont area and doesn't mind a passenger?

Thanks,

Thomas

They usually wear sunglasses, a ball cap, and loose-fitting clothing in the spring/summer. They may even be carrying fishing rods or kayaks and appear pretty friendly. Sometimes they might even say things like "beautiful day isn't it?" or "how you doing?" but don't be panic. Just give your car a lot of gas and never stop in the tunnel! You'll be fine ;).

Hi,

I am just shooting out a notice that John Bilotta (Master Certified Casting Instructor) and I will be holding a casting clinic at Fletcher's Cove on Sunday, March 3 from 8:30-10:00. We will help out with both single-hand and two-handed casting (John will probably have some spare spey rods if you want to give this a go). If there is anything you want to work on or just want to tune up your general skills, we will help out.

Additionally, we have added a few additional events to our webpage here: http://www.tpfr.org/events.htm

On the following Sunday, March 10, we will have a table at the NCC-TU Angling Show at Georgetown Prep in North Bethesda. Lefty Kreh will be there doing a casting demonstration, there will be lots of guides, local vendors and other local fishing non-profits. For more details, go here.

Also, as Dan has sent out recently we have several more Beer Tie's and our four year anniversary party scheduled at Whitlow's.

{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Is fishing escapist, or is it the other way?

This thread is the reason why I find this the best fishing forum I've been a part of. Good stuff.
BTW, fished Lake Anne in Reston today. Caught a cold.

Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} 3wt

I would recommend that you go to some of the local fly shops, and upcoming fishing shows to test out some rods. Speaking from experience, both good and bad, I wouldn't buy based on price. A 3 wt is more or less a luxury, a specialized tool that if you don't own one, you will not be prevented from fishing any waters or or catching any fish that you couldn't on your 4 or 5 weight. If you buy some cheapo 3 wt, it probably will not get fished much as you will wish that you got that good one that was a little more coin and probably end up grabbing the 5 wt with the action you love when you hit the little streams that are ideal for the 3 wt.

I'm in the market for a 3wt. I was curios what is a good rod that won't brake the bank?

{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: 4 mile chocolate milk

i didn't have much luck there yesterday either until about 4. With the water higher than normal at low tide, I found the area just downstream of the outflow pretty productive. I caught 4 LMB and a bunch of huge bluegill. I didn't really see much with the water being so stained, but I think I caught a tire when I was downstream of you (near the power poles). There is a black wooly bugger in the tire now since it was too deep for me to reach down to retrieve it.

If you almost hooked a carp, you've done better than I have in trying to catch one ;).

I pulled up about a 6' clear plastic tarp the other day, but managed to get my fly back. You never know what you'll get around here.

Went to 4MR Wed. to work on my casting and try out my hideous wooly bugger I tied on a #6. About 20 cast in and I missed a huge carp. I've got to get this hook set thing down! Felt the fish on my line when I attempted to lift for my back cast. Thought I was hung up, saw a the fish roll and half a tail fin.

No other bites all day. Saw a couple of bass hit something on the surface but that was it. Nice and warm so getting skunked didn't feel so bad. BTW, I spent an hour with Rob Snowhite and his daughter. I asked Rob to spend an hour with me to help me get through my fly fishing learning curve. Great time and very helpful.
