Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} My new bass killers!

Thanks Rich. I was in the state park in Kanes creek.

Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} My new bass killers!

Aden,

Just wanted to clarify something for the guys here on the board – Mason Neck is large… there are a bunch of creeks, but there is also the federal wildlife refuge – fishing on or from the refuge is prohibited, but elsewhere outside of the refuge is fine:

Just making sure everyone knows the regulations before you head out.

Subject: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} My new bass killers!

Hey all,

Seeing as I am off work for a while now, I have had lots of time to play with flies, tie new patterns and fish almost everyday. I wanted to share my new flies.

Some things I read over and over and hear on tv shows is that bigger flies/lures catch bigger fish. I grew up next door to Jimmy Houston in Oklahoma and did lots of bass fishing. With those roots I have tried to tie a pattern that mimics my favorite lures. I am still working on the plastic worm but I feel I have modified my wooly bugger to imitate a tube that spin casters use.

I tied these flies on a long size 6 (though I plan to go bigger) with rubber legs, craft fur and lead eyes. They are about 3 inches long but have a thick body. They fish deep and swim well.

I tried them out at mason neck this weekend and every bass I caught was at least 3 pounds. I hope the small mouth like them too.

Re: [CudaMailTagged] Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Indian River Inlet

Henlopen is a lot of fun -- though I've only caught a little bluefish there the one time I fished it. You can wade along the pier for quite a long way when tide is lower. I love that park for other reasons too, like the excellent birds there. Ruddy Turnstones! There's a big lighthouse rock pile out there too.

Nice!

We used to have an excellent grey trout fishery in the bay....I miss them :/

And Jeff, they do get pretty big, just are nowhere near as common as they used to be.

{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Potomac camping

Aden -

I've done this one time, at the Swain's Lock (#21) campground. It's an unremarkable but totally solid camping spot, with sites for probably 6 or 7 groups. When I went I had no trouble finding a spot.

They have running water and a few porta-johns up by the canal, although the NPS site currently has a not saying "water is unavailable until further notice", so I'm not sure what the deal is with that.

Here's a bit more info:

http://elephanteating.blogspot.com/2009/03/c-and-o-canal-campsite-guide.html

http://www.nps.gov/choh/planyourvisit/camping.htm

The coolest thing about these campgrounds IMO is that they are accessible via a reasonable bike ride from downtown DC, so I was able to leave my house in Mt. Pleasant by bike and get to a place to camp in about 1.5 hours. When I went the Potomac was really high but i still had a good time picking off bluegills in the canal.

Would be curious to explore some of the spots further out.

Has anybody ever gone camping at Seneca breaks?
How about any of the other campgrounds on the C and O canal
