{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Smallies

Wade fished point of rocks and Carderock for a combined 11hrs or so.  Only managed 3 under 8".  I may be using the wrong technique.  I was fishing downstream with unweighted crawdad imitations and a couple of split shot 18" above it to get it down.  I fished it like you would swinging streamers for trout casting 45 degrees down or so, mending upstream to get it down and then keeping pressure to maintain swing.  What do you guys recommend?  Also tried clousers retrieved across the current and "nymphed" through bolder pockets.  Not sure what I should be doing and what type of water to look for.  I assume back eddys, but should I target bolders or open water, fast or slow water?

Thanks

How'd everyone do this weekend? Fished a few spots near/above Great Falls over the last few days and had success on poppers, buggers and crayfish.

I hit a few good ones up at Point of Rocks last weekend on a float. It's pretty shallow down past the Lock on the MD side. I found a really nice hole there. they are surface feeding as the light starts to die.

Has anyone been getting into any smallies so far this summer? Looking to get out this weekend. I don't have a boat so I'll likely be wading. Curious how the Potomac or Shenandoah has been fishing. Cheers.
