Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: fishing an outgoing tide

I'm the same as Gene. I fish whenever I can regardless of the tide. For saltwater, I find it does make a difference depending on the species.

I fish every spare minute I have -- regardless of tide cycle.  I've caught fish at virtually every stage and honestly don't correlate my catch rate too much with the tide.  It probably depends pretty heavily on where you tend to fish as it definitely seems to matter more some places than others.  Sometimes I think it's more random luck than anything.

An incoming tide near the Potomac River fall line allows the food chain to filter in and become a captive audience for predators who might hold in waiting, to feed, as the tide flows out. 

I prefer a moving tide.  More so the outgoing.

I don't think that is really true.  I think it matters more where are you fishing.  Gravelly Point for example, seems to be favored on an outgoing tide.  I always seem to do better at fletchers on an incoming tide.  In general, fishing dead low or dead high is never the best, and that goes for pretty much everywhere there are tides.  Maybe there are exceptions...

Hi all,

I've often heard that it's always best to fish the Potomac and it's tidal waters during an outgoing tide. Does anyone know the reasoning behind this concept? Are there certain times during an outgoing tide that are better to fish than others? (E.g., fishing as soon as the tide starts going out vs. Fishing just before it starts to come back in.)

Many thanks.

Jeff
