Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Triadelphia

Do you have an anchor Mark?  I find that to be almost a necessity to keep you on the good spots.  We use a 30' 3/8" rope tie to the yoke with a round turn + 2 half hitches, and a 5 pound weight tied to the end of it....works pretty well.  

If I paid the WSCC (or whatever) fee to fish the Tridelphia, I might enjoy getting out there....though I don't have a lot of experience with deep lakes like that.

Yep -- my thoughts exactly.  The more crap you have on a canoe or kayak, the more problems for fly fishing.  On my inflatable, I removed the velcro "paddle holder" on the left side (since I cast right-handed), and the tiny "stub" left over still snagged the stupid line on occasion.  

Mounts and other junk are fine for spin tackle -- not so much for fly fishing. Rip any of that stuff off!   

That's a nice rig BTW Mark -- can you stand on it?  I basically have to be able to stand to have fun now.  So long as the canoe' or kayak is moderately wide and doesn't have too much rocker, I'm happy.  

BTW -- The middle aged lady who sold us our canoe lives by the Tridelphia and showed us a MONSTER striper she caught there not too long ago, and some other really nice fish.  She's a far better fisherman than I am --

Thanks, I like it. Still figuring out hows and whys of rigging it. For example there's a cleat on each side amidships that do nothing but bump into my arms and snag fly line - those will be coming off. Need a couple of mounts for rod holders in the integrated tracks and need a better paddle clip than the rubbery ones that came with the boat. But I'm in no rush - experimenting with rigging will provide ample excuses to take her out.
