I'm told the shad are hitting hard up in Deer Creek north of Havre de Grace, MD

Short video of fishing from a few weeks back. Nothing fancy, a lot of poor
casting, but was my first time out playing with the GoPro. Battery died
before I got on the fallfish.

Fun Scott -- I do a lot of small-warm-stream fishing. You generally get
the place to yourself and *I* sure think it's fun.

I'm almost at use or lose for vacation time at work...anytime someone wants to splash a few yaks, I'm more than willing to meet you out. I have an extra for someone to use as well. |

Hi,
Wanted to take my new 8wt out today and was wondering if Scott's run and turkey run are too high to fish.
Thanks for any info

I honestly can't remember what the point of rocks gauge needs to be to wade
without risking death. Wading the Potomac is a young man's game as far as
I'm concerned at this point -- I use boats or just wade the tributaries.
The same applies to winter kayaking, or basically any situation that
requires you to use a wet suit, kevlar vest or more than 10 feet of duct
tape.
Since wading is also illegal on the Potomac, you could go with a spey rod.
One of those will roll cast a standard pipe wrench out into the current
with the same delicacy as a person throwing a standard pipe wrench as hard
as possible into the same river....giving rise to the popular spey casting
phrase "let's go slam pipes!".

As a general rule, we tell folks that when the USGS gauge at Little Falls
hits 3 feet, the entire Potomac is low enough to wade most places safely and
is clear enough to see obstructions and holes.
We won¹t get there anytime soon.

Thanks for sharing! I hadn't seen it. But Nick and Kami Swingle are TPFR
members and frequent this board, so perhaps they will chime in. Nick and
I were members of our college fly fishing club, I can assure you that Kami
is his best catch ever. I suspect he would admit this.

I found the best areas to be a fair bit upstream of the softball fields as
you come into Wakefield Park off Braddock. If you walk behind them you'll
hit a bike path to follow to some good areas.

Okay. Haven't tried much of the bottom end of the creek near the park, yet. But hope to get out there soon! |

That's not a good day, that's a great day on the Gunpowder! Well done….

Subject: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} The Gunpowder
I made the trek from DC up to the Gunpowder on Saturday. It was well worth it. I had a banner day catching 42 brown trout. Before you ask, yes, I actually removed the hook by hand from 42, and missed a few more. They all weren't large, but they still had a mouth! I did catch some nice ones though.
