{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Fishing Report 6/16 - Little Patuxent near Savage Mill

Also, if anyone is headed down to south FL sometime and needs some recommendations for peacocks or baby tarpon, feel free to reach out. I lived in FL for most of my life and have fished there almost every summer and winter for the past five years.

Hi all, 

First post here so I figure I'll start with a quick report. Headed down to the Potomac to wade for smallies without considering how high the water would be. Once I figured that was out of the question - I headed back home to MD to fish a spot closer to home. Settled on the Little Patuxent near Savage Mill. This was my first time actually fishing this water so this was mostly an exploratory trip. I arrived to find plenty of other anglers fishing the area (even a fellow fly angler). I managed one small smallmouth on a chartreuse clouser  right by the old mill before I decided to head upstream and check out the rest of the area. Didn't have much luck after that, though I found plenty of holes that looked fishy. I'll definitely be back there again sometime.

Does anyone know a better point to access the river? I found plenty of decently fishable spots by the old mill, but it was fairly packed with other fisherman and people there. I suppose I'll just explore more next time. I may even bring my paddleboard and attempt to paddle downstream next time. 

Besides that, it's great to have a group of fellow fly anglers in the area! I've lived in the area for about 5 years now, but haven't really explored all of the fishing opportunities until now since I've gotten a car and graduated from college. Looking forward to sharing more experiences with you all. 

Best,

Eric
