Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Patuxent River Trout Fishing

IMO the best section is downstream of Hipsley Mill road. Sad part is there are so many poachers in this stretch. I've had words with one before - right in front of his daughter. He was clearly defensive and clearly didn't care about embarrassing his daughter. A better tactic is to keep your mouth shut and call a game warden - maybe snap a sneaky pic of the perp if you're so inclined.

{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Cassette Reels

I just ordered this reel for large mouth bass, muskie, and steelhead fishing:


Greys GTS700 (2018 version) 7/8/9 wt Cassette Reel

Anyone with experience with a Greys Cassette Reel.  I have only found very possitive reviews on line.  I like the low cost and ease of swapping spools, it comes with 3.

Thanks for the map and info.  I would like to do a Rapidan trip this Spring at a time recommended by members here. Might do a stay over someplace and make it a multiple day thing..

Did pretty well there last November.  On the same trip I also tried fishing the Rapidan from the bottom up starting outside the park boundaries, but didnt have much success in the lower portions

{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Rapidan

Greg - yeah man! The first fish I got was a gorgeous 10" male and I thought my day was made. Then I caught a few more that size and ended the day with a 12" fish, which is a trophy for the Shenandoah. I'm going to post a trip report with more pics on my blog soon (districtflyfishing.tumblr.com), I'll put it up here too. 

What was hilarious about the day was that I forgot to bring any tippet. So I was scavenging tippets from various old leaders. I lost my tight line rig in a tree and didn't have enough for a new leader, so I switched to a dry-dropper. And that ended up working better in the stretch I went on to fish. Stuff like that made it a very memorable day.

I feel a little bad hotspotting but I am mollifying myself that the Rapidan is no secret... and I just fished at the first turnoff.

Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Patuxent River Trout Fishing

Probably a bit late to the game on this one, but which part of the Patuxent are you looking to fish? Mainstem, Middle or Little? If the latter, head to Savage Mill and fish from the bridge up about a mile and a half. There's alot of cool water in that stretch and I've found there to be holdovers from the fall stockings as well. Just a word of caution, the first couple days post stocking can be akin to combat fishing with alot of gear and bait guys out there as well.

Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: In search of bigger trout

Agreed on the Casselman and Savage. I'd probably recommend skipping the NB Potomac and Yough unless you are planning to float. Neither are very wading-only friendly and are definitely best fished by raft, whether actually from the boat or as a means of getting from one hole to the next.

I'm told they stock some brood fish in the Casselman, so those would be BIG. I haven't fished it myself but it is definitely good water. There's a scenic and historic stone bridge on it that you should orient to.

Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} In search of bigger trout

It's a little more than a few hours drive however the Salmon River for Steelhead or Erie Tribs is a very doable weekend trip . Several years ago Brian Hepler & I did a March trip to the Chatauqua  ( Erie Trib ). We had great day of fishing and virtually had the place to ourselves. Obviously you need to keep a sharp on weather conditions for that part of the country before taking off. A little closer to home Calvert Cliffs power plant has been a good late winter fishery for Rockfish in years past. But you would need a boat and or a guide with a boat

{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} In search of bigger trout

Hello all! I am looking for a good spot to go next weekend. I've had a lot of luck on the smaller local streams this winter but I was hoping to get into something a little bigger. I wouldn't mind making a trip if it. Something a few hours away is not a problem. Can't wait to hear what everyone likes!
Thanks!

{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Reporting in from Annapolis Tie Fest

Vo was kind enough to hook me up with a ride to Annapolis. Thanks!

The show was well attended, there were flyfishers standing in line to get in a 10 am.  Sadly, Lefty is ailing and could not be there.

The physical space was cramped around the booths and tyers.  Difficult to sit down and really watch closely but I was inspired by the skill and creativity.  Bob Popovics was tying a monster bait fish pattern called "The Beast".

Also watch some programs on southern musky and on fishing Tangier Island.  All those pictures of fat fish have exacerbated the shack nasties...come on spring!

Overall, a great way to spend a drizzly day, Stevie

{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Back Creek

Has anyone fished the regulation waters on the Back Creek tail waters... to the west of Jackson River? According to Beau Beasley all other sections of Back creek are off limits. Supposed to be more of a small river and very scenic, mostly healthy rainbows. Just curious, might add it to my April trip to the Jackson..

Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Patuxent River Trout Fishing

I was hoping to make it out on the water tomorrow so unfortunately I will not likely be able to purchase the book before then, but thank you for the recommendation Carl.  I will be sure to check that out

I guess with that in mind, does anyone know which side of the Patuxent (above Triadelphia Reservoir versus below the Damn) is typically stocked ?

{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Rapidan

I did a camping / fishing weekend on the Rapidan last fall.  If you park on Skyline and take the Mill Prong Trail down a little over a mile to Rapidan Camp, and then take the unpaved path (horses) down ~1/4 mile there are a lot of good spots to throw a fly

https://www.nps.gov/shen/planyourvisit/upload/RapidanCamp_RoadTrail.pdf 

Did pretty well there last November.  On the same trip I also tried fishing the Rapidan from the bottom up starting outside the park boundaries, but didnt have much success in the lower portions

Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Guide rec for Smoky Mountains, staying near Gatlinburg, TN

Little River outfitters in Townsend has fly gear, reports, and works with some local guides. I like the Abrams Creek/Little River areas of the park, including Elkmont and Tremont. This is small water once you get in the park, so a 4 wt would be the absolute max you would need, and I fished a 3 for years. One of my favorite things to do was to hike to below Abrams Falls from upstream, and then fish downstream from the falls with streamers or big meat flies. You'll catch rainbows and smallmouth, with the very (and I mean very) occasional brown towards the lower end. That is a full-day excursion though. Basic rule of thumb for there is hike upstream to find more fish and solitude, hike downstream for larger fish. But some of the high plunge pools will surprise you.

Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Guide rec for Smoky Mountains, staying near Gatlinburg, TN

The trout in the park definitely tend to run on the small side. Every now and then you might find a bigger brown but the majority of the streams are loaded with rainbows that tend to average 7-8 inches with the occasional fish over 10. There are a handful of streams with Brooke's that are your typical Appalachian brook trout. That said, the fish in the park are all wild and the streams are beautiful with solitude easy to find. As far as I know, most of the streams outside the park are stocked fisheries. Really up to you as to your preference.

Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Guide rec for Smoky Mountains, staying near Gatlinburg, TN

Thanks for the advice both of you.   I called a few places, and they all said there's plenty of small trout in the park, but best bet for bigger fish is outside the park in NC.  Tuckasegee in particular.   I'll give River's Edge a call.  Thanks!

You might want to consider going over to Cherokee on US 441 and get your guide out of River's Edge Fly Shop.  They have access to private waters and the Tuckasegee at that time of year is a really good river to fish.  There's a lot of good water to fish in that area with my favorite being the Raven's Fork Trophy water on the Reservation.

You might want to consider going over to Cherokee on US 441 and get your guide out of River's Edge Fly Shop.  They have access to private waters and the Tuckasegee at that time of year is a really good river to fish.  There's a lot of good water to fish in that area with my favorite being the Raven's Fork Trophy water on the Reservation.

Does anyone have a guide recommendation for the Smokey Mountain National Park area?  I will be staying north of the park, near Gatlinburg.   A quick google search yields lots of possibilities, but I thought I'd ask this educated group to see if anyone has any firsthand experience with a guide.  I'm looking to do a full day guided trip.  I will probably do some fishing on my own inside the park, and outside the park, particularly in North Carolina.  I will be there the last week of March, 2018.
Thanks in advance!

{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} can i launch near the tidal basin

I tried to parse out the rules from the gravelly point discussion,  but still not sure i know the answer.  Could you legally hand launch a kayak from Ohio drive near the ball fields and the tidal basin outlet.  Physically you can do it for sure and i Always seem to find parking here,  but  i do believe it is national park land.

That is the perfect area to fish the surf. It is really a great time. Get a stripping basket, cold weather gear, and fish the sunrise and sunset. You need a 6wt and up with a shooting head with a fast sink rate. Perch is always there but it is really a big aquarium of fish even in the wash.  Call the guys at lost coast outfitters in SF and they can help dial you in. You need a license, they check even at 4 in the morning. You can get it online.

The only problem is that during the day all you think about is standing in the surf watching the sun rise and catching fish. You do need to love being tossed around, wet, and hot/cold at the same time.

Have fun!
