{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: hey Vic, and SUPers

Clarence -

My board is an aircraft carrier.  I have tried to get it to go over but have not been able to do so.  I routinely carry three rods (1 spinning, 2 fly), a cooler with water and snacks, a pack full of tackle, a paddle, a knife, an anchor, my life jacket and a dry bag with a phone and truck keys.  

Look towards the fishing specific SUPs.  I have used the general purpose all around boards, but a jack of all trades is a master of none.

I've had buddies use boats, canoes and jetskis to go fishing from, but I like the peace and quiet when I go fishing and when you are having fun, you're not exercising (even though you are) - I'll take the SUP for most fishing applications.

I've never considered fly fishing from a SUP. How much of a range do you have from where you launch it? Ever do a downstream float? Is it stable enough to really not worry about wiping out?

The furthest upriver I've paddled is Algonkian Regional Park.  Lots of islands to paddle through and tons of holes hiding smallmouth.

I have seen people launching from Goose Creek and going downstream towards the Potomac.

I also paddle/fish Beaver Dam Reservoir (south from Belmont Rd/Leesburg Pike).  Between those three spots, you should have a bunch of fishing.

I can't see the POR area being too different from those spots.
