{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Moving to Rockville by way of Colorado

Thanks for responding Misha. Glad to know beer and fishing go hand in hand back East too. I should be able to make the Beer Tie in November. I'm very excited to make the Potomac my new home water; knowing there's a strong community out there makes it all the better. I have a tremendous amount to learn in fishing bigger waters and this seems like the perfect place to start. With that being said, there's nothing like hiking into a small stream and poking around regardless of the fish size. Looking forward to meeting you and the other bums.

P.S. Thinking about a 6 Wt. w/ sinking line or going full monty for the 8, still not sure. Any suggestions in the realm of a specific rod? 

Cheers,

Anthony

Hey Anthony, welcome to the club, prospectively! Definitely make sure to attend the Beer Ties to meet the other trout bums in the area! There are a surprising number of us. This group is organized around the thought of "fish where you are," and that means the Potomac and its tributaries. In the Potomac itself you have smallmouth bass, stripers, and an epic shad run in the spring. Travelling about an hour is required to hit the nearest wild trout water, and I dare say the fish will be smaller on average than in SW CO, but the environs have their own unique appeal, as do the fish. You mentioned VA but don't overlook MD. If you're thinking of fishing the Potomac, you could definitely get away with a 6 weight, if you need another arrow in your quiver. I personally carry a 3, 5, 6, and 8 weight and that covers about everything I need. If you had to have one rod, a fast action 5 weight would do about 95% of the job. Looking forward to meeting you, and don't hesitate to start contributing to the forum anytime the mood strikes.
