{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Holmes

My son and I fished Holmes yesterday for nearly two hours and didn't get any bites. Tried streamers, nymphs but no strikes. We walked to the dam and worked our way back. Ran into another fisherman who also wasn't catching anything. Fortunately it was lovely weather, sunny and high 50s, and we lucked into a restorative bowl of pho for lunch at Pho Factory in one of the shopping centers at Little River and 395. All in all a great day.

Fished Holmes Run today. Got out late, lost the sun and it got chilly, especilly sticking the hands in the drink. Fish were holding deep in the pools. 6-12 per, saw a few darting around the shallows. Passed a gentlemen swinging streamers, he said he had "no luck, but they were following". Well i may have cheatefd but i hung a nymph about 6 in under an oragne egg and it worked out well. Good portion of them turned on it and had 4 take. Fished from the downed tree by the pool up to the first crossing, 3 hrs.

Im not familiar with the area but through this website and the VDGIF I found my way to Holmes. Also stopping today at Orvis to increase my arsenal I was invited to your next "Beer Tie". First impression of this group is impressive. 

Cheers. Safe Travels,

Bret
