{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: East of Harrisonburg

The sections we like basically fish like a large SNP stream, but it's a little larger and affords some stretches where soft hackles work pretty well.  Everything works -- I like CDC/Elk dries and Rob's foam beetle pattern for dries, but it probably doesn't matter -- I'm sure that old multi-pack of "Real hand-tied flies!" they sell at the Kmart would work fine if you stand in the right spot.  I've always wanted to fish the upper section (above the lake) since it seems like it would also fish well.  When I pulled up there last year at one point it was flooded, so we just went mushroom hunting.    

I haven't really tried anything else -- well, aside from flipping rocks.  We did that one day for a few minutes and found the biggest, nastiest stonefly nymphs you ever saw.  Well....I know Misha saw 'em. He posted some not too long ago, but maybe from a different stream.

Thanks for the info, TurbineBlade. I think I'll try Dry River out this Sunday. I've just begun my research on it. Any additional info/tips you have on Dry River would be much appreciated.
