Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: How's the water at Fletchers?

Water came up a good bit today.  Definitely some color which improved the fishing.  Fish took the fly much more aggressively than they have been. By far my best day of the year.  

Not sure what it will go up to but it could be shot tomorrow.  I'd check the gauge before heading out.

Water was fine if you could get to it.  Place was an absolute zoo in the afternoon.

As a relatively new fly fisherman starting my third year, for the last two years I have been beating the waters on the Rappahannock to a froth looking for the elusive shad.  I have caught numerous stripers and even a catfish, but never a shad.  For some reason, on the days I fished, no one wold catch a shad, but they would report banner days on the days before and after.  Well today I broke the spell, I caught my first shad today.  I also had several hits that I was not able to follow through on as well.   Gotta admit that I was so excited that I did nor even care if it was a hickory shad or not.  It is all catch and release for me.  Now that the drought is over, I hope to be putting a few more on the end of my fly line.  Ironically, there were several other fly fishers down there and I was the only one that I saw catch a shad, although I did see a spincaster catch a couple but it was not hot yet.

Nice, I may go Sunday (or this afternoon, although frankly I have too much work to do).

Water was fine.  Fishing was hit or miss from shore.  Guys with boats seemed to be doing better.  Sun seemed to have them deeper than they have been.

Hi friends,

Hope everyone is well! Did anyone make it out to Fletchers today? I'm going to hit water somewhere tomorrow morning for a few hours and am trying to gauge if the water at Fletchers is muddy after the last two days or rain. If so, I'll probably head to a smaller trout stream that recovers quickly. Any guidance is appreciated!

Ash
