{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Dry River

I've fished the dry river a few times. it's a beautiful stream. One of those places where I think everyone should learn to fly fish. Plenty of room to back cast, and LOTS of eager brook trout. The further up 33 you go into the park the smaller the stream gets but there are fish the whole way down, and everywhere you'd expect them to be. You can probably catch your limit on a light nymph rig pretty quick but my hunch is as long as the water isn't too high with this rain that you'll have some luck with your generic dry fly patterns (i.e. adams, royal wulff, cadis, etc). Most of the fish are 3-6 inches but i'm positive there are some bruisers in there. As with most brook trout fishing I don't think you'll have to match the hatch too close just get it in front of their nose and as long as the profile looks right they'll take. Here's a quick write up on Mossy's website on the dry: http://mossycreekflyfishing.com/portfolio-item/local-public-waters-dry-river/

Good luck!

Thinking about hitting the Dry River on Saturday AM. Anybody have any experience and pointers on where to fish it and what flies might be productive?

Thanks
