{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Need Some Advice

I second Misha's recommendation re wading shoes and wading staff - Potomac can be very slippery and the rocks vary from sand to gravel to large cobble to the huge stone reefs that extend across the river. I know from hard won experience when I lost a rod, reel, line and biggest smallie I ever hooked 3 or 4 years ago.

BTW, the Potomac is Maryland and Maryland forbids felt soles. Still I have heard no tales about unfortunate anglers in felts being warned, fined, etc. Maybe someone else can amplify on this?

I'll second Rich Farino re the Little Falls gage. For farther upriver, Harpers, Weverton, etc. I go by the Point of Rocks gage and prefer it to be 2 feet or less. One might even go out when it's 2.25 and dropping.  If it's too high up there, find a seat and a beer and watch the rubber hatch.

Mark
