{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Trout ID skills in Maryland

In 2021, the Maryland Department of Natural Resources Fishing and Boating Services adopted a new catch and release regulation for brook trout in all put-and-take trout management waters, as well as all waters east of Interstate 81. These efforts will help protect our native brook trout.

In order for this regulation to be effective, proper identification of trout species is necessary. 

The department would like your help. Please take this anonymous short survey to test your trout identification skills. 

Results from the survey will help us determine the types of information needed to assist our anglers with trout identification while fishing. Thank you for your assistance with this effort!

{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Occoquan River Clean up

The Friends of the Occoquan are planning river clean up days on April
10th out of Lake Ridge Marina, the Town of Occoquan and Occoquan
Regional Park and April 17th out of Bull Run Marina at Fountainhead
Regional Park.  They are implementing Covid specific distancing best
practices in performing the cleanup.   To better schedule volunteers,
they are requesting signup not later than 2 April

Further information is available on the Friends of the Occoquan web
site: http://www.friendsoftheoccoquan.org/

Seems like a great time to do some clean up in Occoquan and then either
follow or lead that with some Shad fishing.  (Anyone have some insight
on the best timing on the tides to support the Shad fishing?)

{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} PA Fish & Game Virtual Fisheries Summit

There is an excellent PA Fish & Game Virtual Fisheries Summit presentation that focuses on some of the more popular fish discussed on here (shad, stripers, smallmouth, trout, gar and more) with lots of relevant information on biology and some fisheries that can be reached within 1-2 hours by car, from DC. All of the separate presentations can be found on their Youtube channel - link below. I found these presentations to be well worth listening to. Based on prior postings, I know that many anglers on here fish in Pennsylvania from time to time. The trout fisheries presentation includes some data on wild and stocked streams all over the commonwealth. I would be interested to hear from anyone that has chased PA's freshwater reservoir stripers. Thanks.

Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Was Eastern Shore Tributaries, now shad on the eastern shore

Shad should be around in that part of the bay at that time of year. I think they run up just about any tributary that isn't overly polluted, especially the hickories. Good luck!

All,

I am calling off the Casting Church for Sunday, 14 Feb.  Please let your friends know.

Due to expected hazardous driving conditions and conditions and temperatures for tomorrow, we just don't have to increase the risk to people just to have church.

We will pick it up in March, and in that Casting Church we will talk lines, rigs, flies, as well as casting, all for shad, and then we will hike up stream to find some shore to cast from and see if we can't catch some early shad.

{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Casting Church, 14 Feb 2021

So, for a snow/ice leader for the upcoming Casting Church, should we tie rubber legs every couple of feet and dip them in warm water between casts? 

Hope the weather gives us a break!

We will have our casting get together on Sunday, 14 FEb at Fletcher's Cove from 8am to 11am.

This is a great event to bring a date for Valentine's Day.

We will also help anyone with any particular casting issues.  Bring your questions. We will have some extra gear, no need to buy anything.  If you are curious about flyfishing/flycasting and are wanting to see what it is about, come on by. 

So shad season is right around the corner, and for this casting church, we will focus on how to cast sink tips and sinking lines. So bring those tips and sinking lines if you have them. Our instructors will bring their setups as well, in case you don't have that gear. For the Mar casting church, we will focus on shad fishing. We will talk flies and line set ups, and then we will hike upstream to some bank fishing locations.

We will have a casting station for those who want to begin to pursue the FFI Casting Challenges program (see FFI website). This is a fun and low-key way to improve skills and get recognized by FFI and your peers for your achievements. It is a good way to also set the stage for eventual pursuit of Casting Instructor (CI) certification, if you are interested in that pursuit.

We will practice social distance.  Pretty easy to do since we are outside.  And since we are all holding fly-rods and moving them around, this separation tends to work out naturally.

However, if you are ill or suspect you might be, please respect the health of others and rest up at home.  There will be other casting churches, once a month at least.

Come on out, whether you are a novice, intermediate, or advanced caster, it is all fun to work on solving casting problems and casting challenges.

If you are just getting started, this is a great way to meet people who can help.  There will be casting instructors on hand.

If you are preparing for an upcoming trip and looking to re-fresh your casting skills, this is a great opportunity.

Always worth bringing a rod.  That won't be the most predictable time but I have been there in january and had bluefish right on the beach.

Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Digest for tidal-potomac-fly-rodders@googlegroups.com - 1 update in 1 topic

February is pretty dead in the salt. Shad and strippers haven showed up yet. If you get a warm stretch the bass and panfish can turn on in the fresh water.  If you have a boat or kayak you can get into some nice speckled trout at the warm water discharge from the power plant on the Elizabeth River in Chesapeake

Outer Banks February fly fishing

"pay...@gmail.com" <payotte@gmail.com>: Feb 08 09:56AM -0800 Hey all, Happy New Year!   I'm going to be in the VB/Outer Banks area from about Feb 12-Feb 24   I live in Key West now, so I have no concept of the winter freeze. For instance, it's 85 degrees today and hot. So, I ask you, any point in bringing my rod up and if so, where around there is a good place to wet the line?   -Phoenix

{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Outer Banks February fly fishing

Hey all, Happy New Year!

I'm going to be in the VB/Outer Banks area from about Feb 12-Feb 24

I live in Key West now, so I have no concept of the winter freeze.  For instance, it's 85 degrees today and hot.  So, I ask you, any point in bringing my rod up and if so, where around there is a good place to wet the line?

{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Casting Church, 14 Feb 2021

We will have our casting get together on Sunday, 14 FEb at Fletcher's Cove from 8am to 11am.

This is a great event to bring a date for Valentine's Day.

We will also help anyone with any particular casting issues.  Bring your questions. We will have some extra gear, no need to buy anything.  If you are curious about flyfishing/flycasting and are wanting to see what it is about, come on by. 

So shad season is right around the corner, and for this casting church, we will focus on how to cast sink tips and sinking lines. So bring those tips and sinking lines if you have them. Our instructors will bring their setups as well, in case you don't have that gear. For the Mar casting church, we will focus on shad fishing. We will talk flies and line set ups, and then we will hike upstream to some bank fishing locations.

We will have a casting station for those who want to begin to pursue the FFI Casting Challenges program (see FFI website). This is a fun and low-key way to improve skills and get recognized by FFI and your peers for your achievements. It is a good way to also set the stage for eventual pursuit of Casting Instructor (CI) certification, if you are interested in that pursuit.

We will practice social distance.  Pretty easy to do since we are outside.  And since we are all holding fly-rods and moving them around, this separation tends to work out naturally.

However, if you are ill or suspect you might be, please respect the health of others and rest up at home.  There will be other casting churches, once a month at least.

Come on out, whether you are a novice, intermediate, or advanced caster, it is all fun to work on solving casting problems and casting challenges.

If you are just getting started, this is a great way to meet people who can help.  There will be casting instructors on hand.

If you are preparing for an upcoming trip and looking to re-fresh your casting skills, this is a great opportunity.
