Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Spring Trout Trip Suggestions?

Good question. I didn't spend too much time fishing there in general. I ran track, so being a year-round division 1 program, it consumed quite a bit of my time. Spring was also our prime season with 5 days of practice after classes and a track meet on the weekend (sometimes lasting both days). Most of the time I did get on the water was spent doing what I (sort of) knew, which was going after trout. The river scene was new to me, as on Cape Cod where I grew up, there really weren't rivers that held trout, except for maybe two that had native brookies, and a few saltwater rivers that had your occasional sea-run brown trout (never got one). I already had my hands full with the switch to a river from oceans and ponds. By the time my senior year rolled around and injuries put a stop to my track career, let's just say I was focusing on making up for lost time on other college "related" activities.

If you want your lesson on the Gunpowder for trout, give Micah Danmeyer at Knee Deep Flyfishing a call. He is great at instruction and puts together a great trip.

{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: GREAT BEER (WHISKEY) TIE EVERYONE - HERE'S TO THE FIFTH YEAR!!!!!

The Yamazaki reminded me of Bowmore and Lagavulin - nice smoke and slightly astringent. The Bowman Small Batch good too. OR are you looking for commentary on how to better work the tasting into the tying? ;-)

Dusty Wismuth at the Whitetail Ski Resort does a comprehensive two day
school that covers all aspects of the sport. Dusty is a great
instructor, a current/former? Joan Wolf instructor, and a generally nice
person. He is located a hour and half from DC, south of Mercersburg,
PA. The web address is skiwhitetail.com

{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Spring Trout Trip Suggestions?

Pine Creek Watershed is great - fished Slate Run last June, early in the month. My pics from that trip are here: https://plus.google.com/photos/116292857394301809396/albums/5750729509847634369?authkey=CLuCkt7vkLCtuQE

Will probably repeat the trip this year, this time on Cedar Run.
