{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re:

I was fishing up there earlier this month.  It started slow but after some rain the fishing really picked up.  My recommendation is that you checkout www.fisherie.com.  First check out the latest fishing reports and conditions on the "Fishing Reports" section, then take a look at the "Stream Description" section to see what the streams  are like and finally, go to the "Angler Maps" section to download and print maps for each stream there which shows all of the stream access parking areas.

If you are going to be fishing Elk Creek for the first time I recommend you go to the Folly's End Campground access (see the Upper Elk Creek map).  This is a private campground that allows free public access to the stream.  There is also a good fly shop on the premise where you can not only get local flies but also good advice.  From the fly shop you can go up or downstream to find good fishing waters.  During the peak stlhd runs this area can get very crowded but this late in the season should not be a problem.

So I am making a trip up to Elk Creek this weekend to hopefully have some better luck with some steelhead.  And was wondering if anybody had been up that way lately.  I got skunked over Thanksgiving trying for bass. So far ive found online that people suggest a 6-8wt rod and 9 foot 3x or 4x tippet and nymph/egg patterns.   It will be a first steelhead adventure, any advice on a parking location or what to bring (even it contradicts what ive found so far) would be very helpful.
