{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Tidal Basin

Walked the dog down there this eve, very muddy water flowing in from the river and none of the several spin guys I saw were having any luck. Saw a couple of gulpers here and there but that's it.

{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Tidal Basin

I was on the basin from 1000-1230 yesterday (Sunday).  I tried everything above and below the surface.  Not even a nibble.  The folks using live & cut bait weren't getting a nibble either so I didn't feel that bad.

Cheers

{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Hebgen Lake

I will be in Idaho and Montana in late August and was considering fishing Hebgen Lake for gulpers i've read so much about.  Any advice or recommendation for either guides or DIY (ie, boat, float tube rentals) would be appreciated.  I will be staying in Last Chance, ID and Big Sky, MT and can get to Hegen from either location.  Time permitting I may also fish Henry's Fork and/or Madison while in Idaho although I have already fished both several time over the years.  I Montana will fish the Gallatin River near the Big Sky Resort.

Again, any advice or recommendations will be appreciated.

{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Donating gear to local charity

Robin, Please accept my deepest condolence on the passing of Bryan.  For many years Bryan would drop over to the Arlington Orvis store during his lunch hour since he worked nearby.  I always looked forward to his visits when we would exchange fishing stories.  When he stopped coming over his absence did not go unnoticed.  Those of us who had been at the store for a while and knew Bryan would ask if anyone had seen Bryan recently.  Some of us surmised that maybe he had changed jobs or relocated.  Now, unfortunately, I know why he stopped dropping by.  His absence at Orvis Arlington will continue to be missed.

As other have mentioned there are a number of local non-profit organizations that I'm sure that would appreciate receiving Bryan's fishing gear.  Organizations such as Project Healing Water, Wounded Warrior Project and Frogman Outdoors are excellent organizations that help wounded military personnel through fishing are always looking for donated fishing gear.  Casting for Recovery helps cancer survivors through fishing is another excellent organization.  

You can reach out to our store for the names and phone numbers of POC for each of these local organizations.

Again, my deepest condolence on the passing of our friend Bryan.

Tom

He left some fly fishing gear behind. And before he died he expressed his desire to have his stuff donated to a charity that helps veterans get on the water and do some fishing. He instructed me to post here to get advice about charities and contact info. 

I would appreciate it if someone on this loop could send me in the right direction.

I know I'm a little late on this, but I would have your buddy comb the alleys and areas around the scene of the crime. Look in every trash can and bin and behind every wall. Chances are the thief quickly realized he didn't have anything he wanted and tossed it somewhere. 

My fiancee had a similar thing happen at my old house a few weeks after we started dating. Fortunately, the thief only got away with some dirty socks and sneakers from her gym bag, and insurance covered the cost of the window repairs. A few days later i spotted her gym bag a block away behind a dumpster. 

The common theme is that thief will smash and grab any visible bags in a car - they aren't picky.  Moral of the story: don't leave your bag in a visible spot. If you have to leave your bag in a visible spot, just leave your doors unlocked and save yourself the trouble of window repairs.

A block south of NY and N Cap was a corner that had over 100 murders a year for a few years running if I remember right.

On the other hand, lots of blocks around there now are great. Hot place to buy.

I had a similar experience about 2 years ago while parked around Q Street and North Capitol. After babysitting my granddaughter, I came out to find the curb side passenger window of my little Toyota smashed and a small backpack missing. The backpack contained gold prospecting equipment such as a sluice, gold pans shovel xcetera. I am sure the kid that busted my window went down the street zipped open the pack and had a what the f*** moment when he saw all the dirty gritty stuff that was inside the pack and there were no electronics in the pack. I'm sure the thief that took the fly fishing bag had a similar experience because I'm sure he was not stealing the bag to get the flies. I really liked the old backpack that was stolen and had to go to eBay to find one old enough to be the same style. It also cost me about $75 to get a rear window from a junkyard and several hours to install the window. All in all I was probably out $300. When I visit my daughter now I try to remember to take everything out of the back of my car. It's a Ford Escape hatchback and most everything is visible. Personally I would just as soon not visit the District ever again but I do have family there.

My good friend and next-door neighbor, Joe Dahut, had his window smashed yesterday during the rain storms while parked downtown in a heavily-trafficked retail area of the city. The heartless crook took his SIMMS hip bag which included all his licenses, fly boxes, flies, terminal tackle, and other fly fishing essentials.  He also caused hundreds of dollars of damage to the car, I assume. Luckily, the crook left behind his fly rods, reels, and a bunch of other equipment. I wanted to quickly post here should this bag somehow turn up on eBay or craigslist. Who knows, maybe someone is dumb enough to walk into a fly shop with it, or actually is a fly fisherman who had a lack of good judgement and stole it for their own use (I sure hope not!). Either way, this also serves as a PSA to keep any gear out of sight as best as possible regardless of where you're parked.

If you'd like to help Joe out in restocking his fly boxes and terminal tackle, you can reach out to him on Instagram at @joedahut - I'm trying to get him out to a beer tie as well!

Thanks!

{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} AK DIY Thoughts?

OC,
I've only been to AK a couple times for work, but managed to sneak down to the Kenai area and would say it is a good bet. The Kenai itself is a relatively large river and while you can have some decent success, I had a blast with my tenkara on the Russian River and Quartz Creek fishing for dollys and rainbows...even managed a couple of sockeye on the tenkara! (https://youtu.be/fKYjdCFEjy0) These are much more intimate waters and allow you tons of access up and down the streams. The Russian tends to get more pressure, but if you put some time in hiking, you can usually get away from everyone. The dollys are definitely the dominant species in these areas and they eagerly take the flies.
Let us know how you do.

Gang, 

I have to go to Seward, AK for work next month. I know - terrible luck. 

In any case, the majority of my trip will be tied up with charter boat fishing, which should be fun but isn't exactly my bag. I'm working to build a couple of free days onto one end of the trip to fool around for rainbows or anything else anyone recommends. Can/will bring a good sized-rod quiver with me, experienced in West Coast steelhead and salmon on the fly but never been to AK. 

Any suggestions would be greatly, greatly appreciated!

{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Donating gear to local charity

Hi Robin,

Thanks so much for reaching and out, and we're really sorry about your loss. I didn't personally know Bryan but we'd corresponded with e-mails several times over the last few years.

In my opinion, the best group in the area to donate the gear to is Project Healing Waters, specifically the new DC chapter. They are just getting off the ground this year and are in need of gear; see a blog post about an outing they did this Spring: http://projecthealingwaters.org/regional/spring-weather-and-great-fishing-at-the-old-soldiers-home-in-washington-dc/

The contacts I have for them are Bobby Davis (robert.davis.bd@gmail.com) and Dan Sheesley (dan@sheesleyenterprises.com).

Thanks,

Dalton

So very sorry for your loss.  Thank you for carrying on his thoughtful wishes and leaving a lasting tribute to his memory.

Project Healing Waters is such a charity.

Bob Gartner is with the Fort Belvoir chapter;

I know there is also a Walter Reed chapter.  

And a chapter associated with DC Veterans' Affairs.  Bobby Davis, one of their POCs monitors this board.

I'm not sure if I can post their email addresses or contact info on this board.  But I will email both Bob and Bobby about this message.

Warmest regards,

Also, Interstate Commission on the Potomac River Basin (ICPRB)  has some useful maps at https://www.potomacriver.org/resources/maps/mapdownload/ one set for download and one set for sale. 

C&O Canal National Historic Park provides the most access to the river, https://www.nps.gov/choh/planyourvisit/maps.htm

In those sections that have water you're likely to find some big carp - best you talk to our Carp Whisperer about them, as I've yet  to manage hooking one. ;-)

Re wading: I've found the most important river gages are Little Falls (for below Great Falls) and Point of Rocks (above Great Falls)

Actually, I've never fished there, but I'm sure it would be fun with a 2-3 wt?

I second the Shenandoah recommendation.  Tons of small smallmouth and some big ones sprinkled in.  It's great for a float and wade trip.  As for wading the potomac, there is some decent area up near Point of Rocks.  

Flies:

Clousers, deceivers, poppers, sliders, damsels

Looking ofrward to seeing you at a beer tie.

As mostly a trout fisherman in smaller rivers and creeks, I have some pretty uninformed questions. 

I left my frameless pontoon boat in CO. Is the tidal Potomac fishable from a pontoon boat?

Is there any wading in the Potomac?

Recommendations on flies? (I think I'll need to update my box.)

I plan to get to a beer tie, but I can't make it until September. 

I'm looking forward to learning some new techniques and fishing for some new species.

Cheers.

{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Lake Of Monsters

I spent 2 years here supporting the Dahlgren History Project.  I used to drive over all the creeks and want to fish.  I carpooled with a number of others, so never was able to stay late or come in early to fish unless I wanted to drive the 40 minutes from Fredericksburg on my own time. 

I am regretting that decision!  

Would be need popping a topwater bug with the electromagnetic railgun "popping" in the background

Someone asked if bass were biting top water lures....well let me tell you a story.

If you have govt access to Navy bases...this lake (Hideaway Lake) has monsters in it.  I had heard in the past there were some big fish in here, and I have caught a few smaller ones over the years.  That changed yesterday.

Hit the shoreline and put my green/white clouser minnow in for a few casts since I didn't see any top water action.  Nothing. 

Grabbed a teal colored popper and tied it on.  I was fishing ~5 to 15' along the brush banks of the pond.  I cast a few and on my third since switching to top water, just as I was about to pull and start to recast...it happened.  Time slowed down, a "white" shadow started to appear under my popper.  Instantly I thought darn snapping turtle is going to take my lure, then quickly turned to …..are there carp in here.  Then this white mass turns into a bass the size of a METRO bus.  It takes the popper and just lays over and starts back down.  I just stood there completely alone in the woods yelping "Holy S*&T, Holy S&^T...what am I going to do".  I have seen some big bass down in Florida, but not this massive.  It starts to fight but it's more like a block of cement than a spirited bass.  He/she comes up near the surface a few times, it's so big it can't jump clear of the water.  By this time I jinxed myself asking in my head how I am going to get it near the shore so I start climbing down and thinking trophy wall.  Just as I start to roll him/her on toward the shore...the popper comes out and the bass slides back into the water.  It was like the scene in JAWS when the shark take down the three barrels.  I stood there like Quint just stunned.  Nobody will believe me.

About 20 or so minutes later as I work the lake...another monster grabs on.  Slightly smaller than the first...probably a SUV vice a METRO bus.  Same thing...start climbing down and out pops the lure.  Now I am pissed. 

I caught a fair share of bluegill (very good fighters from this pond, but average size), and a few smaller bass. 

I tie a dark brown popper on and don't get a single bite.

Still working the shoreline....I switch to a yellow popper. That did it.

Over the next hours...I work the shoreline back and the below pics are two of the larger fish I managed to pull out. 

Overall...a awesome day on a lake that is strictly catch and release (except for trophy fish...which I can say 110% they are in here). 

If you can get here, grab your floating line and popper...fish up and down the shoreline out to about 20' offshore...and have a blast.

So whoever asked if fish were taking top water lures....I can say they are.

Cheers

Collin

{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: AK DIY Thoughts?

You aren't too far from the Kenai.  The rainbow/dolly fishing will be good and depending when exactly you go, there should be silvers showing up.  There will still be plenty of people out but it won't be as bad as it is when the sockeye are really running.  Plenty of places to walk and wade if you want to DIY.  You could also get a guide and float the middle section below skilak lake. It isn't as wade friendly so there won't be as many people but there are huge rainbows in that section.  If you do DIY stick to the upper section between the lakes.  You also may want to check out some of the upper tribs (quartz and others).  They can be hit or miss but can be alot of fun.

The kenai is where I would go if you are staying in seward but if you have some extra time it is worth driving to home and checking out some of the rivers that way (anchor, deep creek, ninikchick ect).

Can/will bring a good sized-rod quiver with me, experienced in West Coast steelhead and salmon on the fly but never been to AK. 

Any suggestions would be greatly, greatly appreciated!

{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Two day float South Fork of the Shenandoah Options?

The tubers sure can be annoying.  At least they are having fun, but avoiding them by fishing weekdays, early, or late in the day is certainly the best approach

Looks like they have two options for two day floats. Any one have a preference between floating from Bixler Bridge to Bentonville or from Seek ford landing to Front Royal?
