{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Black Friday Smallies

Hey TPFR,

So glad to be here.  First Post.

I was born and raised in the MD/DC/VA area and learned to fish (spinning rod) on the C&O canal.  I just became an avid Fly Rodder since I moved to CT.  I have been primarily fishing for Stripers with some success during the fall migration this year.

Never caught a fish in the Potomac on the fly.  However, I came back to visit the family for Thanksgiving and decided to wet a fly on Black Friday after my wife bought me a new Orvis Hydros reel.

Went out to some shallow fast moving water in the Potomac north of Great Falls.  Was using crayfish patterns on floating line with a 9 ft leader.  Hooked into some nice Smallies in front of big boulders in slower moving deeper water.  

Was a blast.  See pics below.

Next thing I want to do is target Maryland Stripers from the shore on the fly.  See if I can transfer any of my CT Striper knowledge to the Tidal Potomac.  Any advice?

Brian
