RE: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Is it wrong...

My daughter has own fish tank - with 40+ fishes. Is it wrong for me to test my little dry flies (size 22-24) in it? I am attempting to try it but......I don't have guts...

Greg: Thanks, that's a breakthrough! Now I know what to do with the erstwhile dormitory fridge of my daughters now resting down in our basement. ;-)

That's one more reason to have a separate fridge/freezer in the garage or basement -- for cold beverages and road pelts.

I agree with your second part. Im only 21. There is a handful of guys at my school who will go out on the water for a all day wade trip.

I think things like power bait are part of the reason kids don't stick with fishing these days. There are depressingly few fisherman in the younger generations

Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Urban Lines got me thinking...

The shad can be awesome from a kayak. I hit Fletcher's yesterday with some good luck but what Steve said about water temps is true. I had a dry suit on and without it it would have been pure misery. You also have to be willing and able to fight some hardcore currents in a lot of places.

I can't impart much knowledge, but I did just build a 5wt switch over the winter with the primary purpose of swinging for shad and smallies. For me it's a tough balance on long rods when trying to keep them heavy enough to cast the bigger bass flies, yet light enough to keep it interesting once you get one on. I'll enjoy the new challenge figuring this one out.

I also fish from an inflatable yak in the warmer temps. Some good locations to start in the tidal parts are Pohick Bay, Occoquan, and Belle Haven -- all easy put-ins. The bridges also seem to be popular spring and fall spots for stripers but I have yet to give it a shot. For shad, I don't really mess with the kayaks with the availability of the Fletcher's boats. It's much easier casting sinking lines from a stable rowboat platform rather than seated or kneeling in a kayak.

{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} fishing in West Virginia

Casey Peltier, for whom I occasionally tie flies, suggested I post these questions here. We will be in the Fayetteville, West Virginia area in the last part of April and early May. What are the fishing opportunities there? Are there horseback trail riding opportunities there? Thanks in advance and if any come to New Hampshire I will be glad to reciprocate.

Lucas is indeed a young person (not quite HS age?). He's come to Beer Tie a few times. But he doesn't need to attend the camp: he's already fished more places and species than I ever will. We have a corner of the Catch & Release board at the Orvis shop dedicated to his exploits. If he says Powerbait sucks, I believe him.

Brendan: I'm not sure Lucas is the troll you think he is... A quick Google search of his username + "Washington DC" seems to indicate that Lucas indeed could attend this camp, if not this year, then next.
