{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Tip section of fly rod found in parking lot off Beaver Creek Road (MD)

No, we were there this morning but suddenly had to make a trip to the bow shop to restring Beth's compound so she can go elk hunting in a couple of weeks.  

We had never been there before, but it was obviously pretty low like we pretty much expected.  Got a few 8" browns, a few more 3-4" browns (1 in the pants), and Beth played around with about a 14" riser for a bit -- but then we left.  I wasn't overly impressed with the obnoxious amount of traffic on 77, though I could see it being somewhat fun when levels are better.  

Browns are worthless trash from an ecological point of view, but I really really enjoy fishing for them ;).  Life is full of these contradictions.

Gene:  I haven't fished Big Hunting Creek, yet.  Have you encounter brookies there?

Sorry, that was a basketball reference used in an attempt at a bad joke.  :)

I don't know three-point -- Did the stretch from that insanely busy hwy up to penile bridge.    I don't know the place too well -- first time at BHC.  It's low as all heck, but merits a return when flows are better.  If anyone wants a brown trout down their trousers, here's how:

1.  Fish a barbless tiemco 103BL hook

2.  Be hyper-active (no problem for me)

3.  Drink 2 cups of coffee before the trip

4.  Only present dry flies well enough to catch small fish (no problem for me)

Glad to have reported it.  Just hope the poor soul sees this post before they go out to their next fishing spot and discovers they only have n-1 sections of their rod available.  :-/

 

Nice job setting the hook!  Was it from 3 point range?

Nice Chris!  You're a good dude. 

On an geographically-related note, I just accidentally flung a brown trout down the front of my pants on Big Hunting Creek, (md) on a hook set.  Luckily, I was wearing a wader belt so he didn't make it too far.  

Hey -- there's always a first!

Just a FYI:  Was at Beaver Creek yesterday afternoon and found an intact tip section of a fly rod in the parking lot off Beaver Creek Road.  Stuck it in the mounted coat rack thingie outside the front door of Beaver Creek Fly Shop (http://beavercreekflyshop.com).  I emailed the fly shop owner that I placed the fly rod section in the said location.
