{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Jigging with fly rod

Presenting your fly by "Water Hauling" might not apply to dapping deep crappie holes,

but if you are not already familiar, this is a valuable approach if you add jigs to your arsenal.

The link below will give you an introduction:

Has anyone here done this with a fly rod? Seems the 9-foot length of my 6-weight would be a good approximation. I've just never tied on traditional tackle like jig heads with stingers or grubs.

Cheers,

Got this blue cat out of the Tidal Basin on Memorial Day Weekend with my 'shad jig' bounced off the bottom. I should have killed the fish but released.

{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re:

Wadergate!

And what a conclusion! To anyone reading who may not remember, the official determination was that since we all "waited a while" and no one else was ticketed (that we know of), it is therefore legal to wade in the Potomac.

BTW -- did you guys know 4MR is "polluted"? A 'concerned' lady in a 1977 Buick Elektra 225 filled with cat toys approached me and Carl the other day and told us that as we suited up.

I seem to recall him weighing in on the great debate about whether or not wading for fishing was legal or not.

{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders}

Hello,

Does anyone have any great knowledge of the North Branch of the Potomac? Where I live these days it is the closest stream to me, or at least I think. A buddy and I have fished it only 3 or 4 times. Managed a few trout in October on crawdad imitations. This weekend we blanked tossing a lot of small nymphs. Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Danny

RE: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: First carp of 2015

Nedak,

I believe the silvery one is a hybrid between a Crucian Carp and a Common Carp.

To the smart people out there, are the carp shown different species or are they all the same? If different please identify the species for each.

Thanks.

Went to Hunting Creek for a couple of hours today for carping.
I used a plastic maggot on a tiny hook and had five hook ups, but landed only three.
I've gone there numerous times and didn't catch any carp, but today they took my offering.

Tight Lines,
Todd
