Rock creek's limited back casting room (and the fact that the P street bridge is several blocks from me) motivated me to buy a mini rod about 5.5 feet long. Dan Davala was also kind enough to hook me up with a discontinued microliter orbits reel for it. It works quite well in rock creek though there are times I still have to sort of side cast.

{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Valley Creek day trip .... trout porn
Hey man so where did you park? I am heading up to fish that tomorrow.
Thanks,

Went up to West Chester, PA to visit my parents this weekend. Pops and I took half day trip over to Valley Creek, got there just be sunrise. Really pretty creek, very tight so some technical casting is necessary in some spots, but I really enjoyed it overall. Will definitely be back soon. The fish are also really scary though, you almost have to wade and hang out for a while until they forget about you. But managed a couple browns. Really awesome colors, and really healthy fish! Satisfied my trout addiction for a few days anyway.Can't wait for October fishing! If anyone is up for going out to SNP on a Saturday in a couple weeks for a day trip, shoot me a message. I'm trying to get a group together.Tight Lines.

Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} quick visit to Rock Creek
You inspired me to go back down there again last night. I was wondering how you were getting good angles on some of the deeper spots! I don't own waders and the only reason I've really considered them is because of water quality around here.

{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: CO Regulation question -- barbless
Thanks guys -- I'll just make absolutely certain that whatever I tie on is either barbless or 100% crimped. I generally buy barbless if they are available in the hook type I'm buying at the moment, but that's not always the case.

Dan, I agree with you and I fly fish the Jackson River in Bath County in Virginia along with many others and I tie all my nymphs especially on barbless hooks. But since I have been teaching fly fishing and guiding for 45 years I have never been asked about other flies in my tackle box or on my vest except for the fly that is attached to my leader. It it's barbless your good to go.....tight lines Dan and best personal regards.Hi -- anyone have experience with how a game officer in CO sees "barbless"? If I'm approached by an officer and am in possession of a fly box with barbed hooks (which I intend to crimp prior to use) is this a violation? I figure if it's even remotely questionable, I'll sort and only pack flies tied on truly barbless hooks....which isn't a problem.Gene

Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Savage River
Was on the N Branch last weekend for a day. Water flows were great. Managed to dig up a few on articulated stuff. Good luck.
Thanks,

{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Saturday at Fletcher's
Looking for some advice here... I have a few friend visiting from out of town this weekend and I was hoping to get out on the water Saturday morning. Any tips/suggestions for Fletcher's Cove this time of year? I have done well on previous outings during the shad run, but wondering what we might be able to scare up this time of year taking into account high water level and increasing temps this week.
Plan to do a mix of fly/spinning as not everyone in the group has experience on the fly rod. Thanks!
-Mike

You can get to good water fairly easily, although there are definitely some holes where the bank's too steep, and wading to get to them is just not worth it. There are some pools with tons of fish stacked up (usually catfish and suckers). Haven't tried downstream of the cemetery bridge, seems like access gets kind of risky down there.
