Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: How Cold Is Too Cold?

Thank you!

Early spring would be...late March through May?

That's a stonefly.  All over the mountain streams in early spring.

Matt,

What was the water level like?

I think I'll wait until a warm stretch in April (and a Friday to take off from work) until I make down to that part of the Valley. 

What's that fly you've got in your photo - still working on my ability to identify...

Got skunked on bull run yesterday. This guy landed on me as I was walking back to the car though, so I'll take that as a good omen.



I saw the Hughes got stocked on Wednesday, but that was a bit too far for my late start yesterday. Hopefully someone got in to them!

Didn't make it up to the cabin - turned back and hiked down maybe a .5 mile down from it due to light fading. 

Will definitely be making a strong effort to learn this water in the Spring when the weather really gets good.

The Hughes presented us with a beautiful Timber rattler a few years back.  Enter a search for it and you'll see the picture ;).  

It's a really nice stream --

I hit Brokenback a few weeks back and was pleasantly surprised. I always opted for Hughes before, but I saw a number of other anglers go right, so I went left.  Much smaller water, and fewer fish than I normally catch on Hughes, but really pretty fish and nice runs.  In the warmer months you could do both in a day, but with a tighter fishing window, I stuck with Brokenback run that day.

Success!

Hiked along the Hughes River last Saturday (first time being up there), and caught around 12 Brookies between 12 pm and 3:45 pm. Middle of February and I was throwing dries of all sorts, each one getting good hits. 

Thanks for all the advice guys - appreciate your insights and patience!

Best,

Yup!

Went out to a brookie stream on Saturday and got some great action on Prince and Pheasant Hair nymphs! Back at the parking lot, I struck up a conversation with another guy who was 3 miles further up the stream than I and apparently crushed it using dry flies. Water was probably around 35-38 degrees, but they were hungry.

Just adding one more "data point" here from this weekend.  Fished Sunday on a tiny native brook trout stream, where granted they will eat anything and probably on any given day.  Caught 22 brook trout in 2.5 hrs all on a green weenie, water temp a chilly 35.
