Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Shenandoah Trout Spawn

I follow another (non-local) FF forum where no one shares ANY location information (seriously one guy uses photoshop to blur the background of pictures), but TPFR is pretty open about sharing information about commonly fished waters and techniques in the area, and I think the community is better off for it. �Now if you hike 10 miles into some gorgeous hole with more trout than water and don't want if revealed, that's one thing, but I think Big Hunting Creek falls into the public knowledge trust at this point. �If that's your secret fishing spot, well you haven't been trying hard enough.

Okay, I see. �I actually punched in "hotspotting" into the search engine (not knowing what it really meant) and found that one really long, detailed thread about this subject that happened before I was a member here. �It looks like there are opinions across the spectrum, and I respect that. �I just wanted to make sure that if I found something that worked well and chose to share it, that it was totally fine by forum rules. �It looks like it is -- so I'm good to go. �

On the more dry, sarcastic side that I tend to favor, it would be fun if trip reports read like this:

Step 1 - Enter the stream at the outfall and walk 14 1/2 steps toward the spillway. �
Step 2 - Overhead cast #4 black bead woolly bugger into the seam and strip in line as fly feeds toward you.
Step 3 - After 8 seconds of drift, set the hook and a bass will be on it.�

Lol. �Kinda like an instruction manual to The Legend of Zelda or something. �

I try and share pretty much everything.

Okay, so don't post specific locations and what flies we've used that were successful? �Gosh, I pretty much tell everyone everything since I'm new and don't really have a handle on all of this yet. �

Is this a board/club rule, or just an individual preference? �

Can we please stop posting crap like this... ???

fine with general areas, techniques, large bodies of water, whatever... but listing specific streams is bs.�

Matthew and others,

I have fished December through February in the park the past couple years. It has been said here before that the after the spawn is over, the eggs still need time to develop in the redds and that we shouldn't wade the streams until after new years. With this in mind, Trent and I have both hit the park in December and early January without waders, only rock hopping or fishing the pools available from the bank. Fishing can be OK this time of year, but don't expect fish to come up for dries. Think about throwing streamers in bigger holes or nymphs in the smaller ones.�

WIth this being said, I would recommend taking your dad to one of the tailwaters instead, they won't be quite as scenic or wild but the fishing should be much better than Shenandoah National Park; if you can postpone to April I would definitely recommend SNP. I also had my dad out in Shenandoah a few weeks ago, water was super low and I certainly wished I would've picked somewhere different.
