Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Pickerel - Seeking spots/tips

Agreed, the weather has been wild lately.  I was hoping to get down to Allens Fresh for the last several weekends but we had a lot of rain, and it makes its way down Zekiah Swamp very slowly so I knew the conditions in the Fresh were going to be high and murky, opposite of what I want.  At least you got out and worked on your casting form.

It's the beginning of March.  Water is still cold.  Let it warm a little and don't get discouraged.

Discouraging because not only am I not catching any pickerel, I'm not seeing them either.  I saw absolutely not one pickerel on any of the trips mentioned below. I don't feel like I'm learning anything when I'm not getting any response whatsoever from my target........

Dropping an update while I'm thinking about it - summary of my attempts the past few weeks.

 

Went back to the ponds at Myrtle Grove where I tangled with two pickerel in an hour one day last fall. Got skunked.

 

Fished both canals in the back, away from the lakes.  Got skunked.

 

Fished a pond in the Piscataway drainage that looked good.  Got skunked.

 

Fished several locations in Mattaponi WMA, which is located south of Fredericksburg.  Found a really awesome looking oxbow pond, which VDGIF webpage claims has pickerel, bass, and bowfin.  Got skunked yet again.

 

Very discouraging thus far.
