{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} High water Virginia browns, etc.

I was surprised at how high the lower Rap was on our trip to ConRapiStaunDitch this morning.  I failed to check the Culpeper gauge!  Anyway, the road was washed up a bit (4X4) and I knew I was in trouble once I stepped out of the truck and heard how LOUD the stream was.  I'm not a great streamer fisherman, and figured I'd brush up on the nymph (and duo) game.  If anyone is a trout streamer specialist -- lay some information on me!  I've not mastered it whatsoever.  

Levels might be better this Sunday, but boy are they high now.  If you're out just plan to move along more quickly than usual to find the soft spots on the edges (and behind the occasional rock).  They're in there -- but tactics change somewhat.  Personally, I'd stick to skyline if you intended to get out.  Pretty, pretty!

Hope everyone is outdoors and happy!
