Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Slow fishing

yeaaa that sounds about right. Also I had a short leader tonight so that doesn't help. I guess I'm just Rather More Used to trout where "pick a spring creek/tailwater" is always an option etc.

August is always slow for me.  As the water temperature rises, the Disolved Oxygen (DO) goes down and the fish get stressed and less active.  As the days get shorter and the water cools down, the fish will start getting active again and bulking up for winter.

If you want to fly fish in this weather, look for areas where cool water enters warm, or where there are a lot of riffles to aerate the water.  

When wet wading feels like you are in a hot tub, it's time to do something other than fish.

Is the warmwater bite slow for everyone lately or am I just fishing worse than usual?
