{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Winter Fly Fishing (saltwater, smallmouth, etc.)

Charlie,
Thanks for the information.  Right now, making the 3 hour trip down to Virginia Beach is a little more than I wanted to put in.  However, I might have to do it to try Rudee Inlet.  On a side note, I am really intrigued by the big redfish down around the CBBT.  I keep seeing kayak fisherman online (Kayak Kevin) posting some pics of huge (45"+) reds caught on conventional gear.  I am trying to get a gameplan together to target them this summer with a fly.  If you have any info on that, I'd greatly appreciate it as it sounds like you may have some insight in the CBBT area.
Thanks again for the info.
Trevor

Trevor,

Virginia Beach has a good amount of stripers right now but the bay season closes on the 31st. If you were to end up going, look for dock lights and bridge lights and make sure to wear some cold weather gear. Most dock lights will hold decent schoolies (16 - 24 inches) and are much safer to fish if you are fishing new water. 

After that, Rudee inlet is always a good bet when you get a real warm weekend. Puppy Drum and Speckled Trout winter over here. When the temps go up, you can find fish on mud flats throughout the inlet. Look in deeper holes if you are there on a cold day. Navionics is a pretty good way to scour the inlet to find these spots.
