Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Shad Fishing this weekend - alternatives to fletchers

The Rappahannock is with in range, but blown out and too high to safely fish.

I have not fished it for shad personally so I can't speak to the bank fishing, but the Patuxent River may be running a bit more clear as it is a lot smaller than the Potomac and has some dams upstream to control flow. On the flip side it is sandy and muddy and can turn dirty easily - I am not sure how long it takes to clear up. Might not work out unfortunately. 

Deer Creek is about 1.5 hours away and also has a shad run, but I am not sure if the hickory shad have arrived there yet. It runs behind the Potomac by a few weeks.

Hey everyone!

Was going to try my luck on the Potomac tomorrow with a few of my buddies but with the high water, fletcher's cancelled our boat rental.  Wondering if there's any other places within 1.5 hours that might be good for shad fishing this weekend?  Or is fishing this weekend pretty much shot with all the rain we've had?

My friends don't have waders and such so preferably anything that allows for some bank fishing.  Appreciate any and all advice!
