Tom,
I was there this morning, and it is truly blown. Thin milk chocolate in color, and very high. I walked upstream looking for my usual spots from the DC bank and they are all under water. I think you would be wasting your time this evening.

help? Desperate to fish but is it stupid to drive in to the Potomac this evening? Have a few free hours and can go from 4 mile to chain bridge but if it is completely blown out will hit an area pond or two. Any input appreciated. Thank you

{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: 2nd Annual Tidal Potomac Slam Tournament

Hi Misha and others,

Change of plans on the dates, the March 30 date has fallen through and the kick-off party is moved back to April 13 at 1PM at District Angling.

The new date is reflected here: https://www.tidalpotomacslam.org/dates.html

The Weather Service's Little Falls prediction makes the river look promising for this weekend: https://water.weather.gov/ahps2/hydrograph.php?gage=brkm2&wfo=lwx

Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Mountain Brookies Armory

Whatttup everyone,

I hit the doah two weeks ago and brought two rods, both three weights. One was the Echo Shadow II Nymphing stick (coming in at 10ft) and the other was an Echo Glass Rod (coming in at 7'6 feet, i believe). Why two? One for dries and one for nymphs, duh, but surprisingly I put my fiberglass stick away and was only using the nymph rod.

Yes, the ten foot rod was a PAIN to bring through the woods, yet it was awesome for nymphing these pools, even though the river I was on is small the length of the 10 footer helped me do better drifts.

I am going again this weekend, BUT broke my nymph rod in PA this weekend. So, who knows what i will do.... feeling naked without the nymph stick :(

I agree with the roll cast suggestion. Overhead casts are highly efficient .... at catching trees.

For anything that doesn't require casting in a cove of laurels, a 7 or 7.5ft rod is perfect.

Even there, I suggest the bow and arrow cast.

I know how much harder a shorter rod can be to cast, but a 7'9" seems too long for close quarters. I've spent a lot of time in the mountains and along those streams, just not too much trying to cast feathers into them. Has anyone tried the Moonshine Rods? In Murray's Fly Shop I would trust but their mountain rods start north of $600. Something i'm not going to spend. Thoughts? Wisdom? Derision? Talk me out of it?
