Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: POTOMAC SHAD UPDATE??

I got out twice this weekend around Fletcher's. Rented boats on Friday and Sunday and had great luck both days. My brother and I probably boated 50 or more fish on Friday, mostly HShad, but lots of big AShad as well. Most were 10-15", with a few over 20". Chartreuse was the only color they were taking - nothing happening for us on pink. Fished from 6:00am until 4:30pm. Great day. 

Three of us went out again on Sunday, but only from about 8:30 until 11. Again, chartreuse was the better color. We didn't get as much action as on Friday, but we still probably managed to catch and release about 30 fish. All were in the 10-15" range, 

One of the fish caught on Sunday had a Sea Lamprey attached to it. None of us wanted to touch it, so there's a photo of it in the net!

Looking back at the photos, I figured out that I need to learn how to hold fish better for photos! 

A few photos attached.

To all of those monitoring and adding to this thread I would like to point out that the "Fletcher's Map" on the TPFR site has a running commentary on the fishing near Fletcher's.

    That said, I will be fishing Tuesday and maybe Sunday and will post my results here.
     
    I'm excited to try some smaller steelhead flies with trailing hooks to see if that will attract more AShad.
    (way over thinking this, but will be fun regardless)
