Jay Peck does both lake-run browns on the west end tribs of Lake Ontario and salmon/steelhead on the Salmon River. Not sure of his plan for this year, but he typically starts with the browns in September and moves to the Salmon River when the steelhead enter. He has other guides working the salmon run.

Thanks so much!  Very helpful!

Yeah, I'm talking about the Lake O tribs…have done a number of steelhead trips on the Lake E tribs so wanted to give the Lake O side and salmon a try…maybe even Lake-run Browns.

Since time is tight, I'm looking for a guide, who can often provide the shortest distance between your fly and the fish.

There are usually the most fish available around columbus day but it is a circus and the fish are generally colored up and less interested in actually eating a fly. More fish will be upriver that time of year.  

If you are thinking about the western Lake O tribs, I would wait a few additional weeks as there are often not fish until later in september. Those streams are much more dependent on rain but someplace like Oak Orchard should have fish by the 3rd week of september or so (they can come earlier though)  

As far as guides, I would think about how you want to fish.  There are a lot of bad guides up there.  Personally I would find one that specializes in  swinging flies.  Greg Liu or Jay Peck would be options for the salmon river.  For the western end, you could see if Cattaraugus Creek outfitters fishes up there.  They have some great guides but are probably more steelhead focused.

Honestly, if you have done much steelhead or salmon fishing you really don't need a guide unless you want access to a drift boat for the salmon river.  

I just typed all of that and realized you may be actually asking about fishing in Lake Ontario itself and not the tribs.  If so i cant help you but summer is generally the time.

And in case it is not obvious. Jay and his guides are fantastic. I bumped into Jay last fall at Cemetery Pool and he had great advice for fishing  the high water conditions. I have also fished a few days with one of his guides, Rick Smith—also great.

{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} NVATU Trout Line September-October

I just updated the NOVATU website to include the September/October newsletter.

{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: August Potomac River Smallmouth Club

Thanks for this, Herman! 

I hope to see some members of TPFR on Wednesday. If you haven't been, I found the PRSC group to be very welcoming, I met some great guys, and I learned some techniques to catch bronzebacks in local waters.

Re: the guest speaker, I fished with Matt a couple of summers ago, and he's definitely the guy to call for the James and Roanoke/Staunton.  

Best, 
Owen Williams

Our speaker is Matt Miles, owner of Matt Miles Fly Fishing, LLC, in Lynchburg, Virginia.  He will be speaking to us this month about James River Smallmouth Bass and Beyond.  I fished with Matt for musky back in March.  No luck, it's musky, but he knows the river extremely well.

Let me know if you have any questions.  I will be joining over Zoom, but we're a friendly enough bunch.

{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: TPFR Fall Fishing on the Gunpowder - Sept 25

Bummer.  CfR day on the water.  Enjoy!

On Tuesday, August 23, 2022 at 5:33:15 PM UTC-4 zon...@gmail.com wrote:

Come join TPFR on the Gunpowder River for the 2nd Annual Fall Fishing Meetup 

When:     Sunday September 25th   8 am until whenever 

Where:    Gunpowder Falls – Masemore Road access point - See attachment for details and directions.

Fly fishers of the Tidal Potomac variety – we're going fishing on the Gunpowder again!  This is the same event that you have previously read about and/or attended from last September on the water with TPFR.  This was successful enough that we've decided to make this the 2nd Annual Fall Fishing Meetup.

The Gunpowder Fishing Day will be free form - show up, meet folks, chew the fat, go fish, and relax amidst the beautiful surroundings of the Gunpowder.  If you arrive before 10am, some of the other usual suspects from the Sunday Casting Church will be on hand to help.   We will also have a few anglers that are more knowledgeable about the Gunpowder River at the event to help folks that are new to this location or would like to improve their knowledge about this river.

If you haven't been to the Gunpowder, this will be a fun way to fish this tailwater of the Pretty Boy Reservoir, just north of Baltimore and put some of those casting skills to use.  For more information and detailed directions, see the attached PDF.  For more about  about Gunpowder Falls see this MD site.

Looking forward to seeing you all there.

This gathering will follow the same guidelines for health and safety that we use for the Casting Churches and Beer Ties.  Please refer to State of Maryland and Baltimore County guidelines and use your best judgment for the safety of yourself and others. If you are ill or suspect you might be, please respect the health of others and rest up at home.

Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} closest wade fishing to Arlington and upcoming events?

Yes VA DWR stocks Holmes Run fall and spring.

I hit Seneca Breaks this weekend w/ my daughter :-)

I was throwing some clousers and an artic-streamer and she had jointed rapala and a mepps black fury.

Nada-zip-zilch. I would expect a whack from a 3" suicide smallie, but nooooo!

Saw a suface blow-up with bait showering. I worked my way over carefully and swung through- no one home.

Super-fishy looking spot, but I confess we didn't see or move anything. Not even panfish.

Love to hear what others think about this area.

Hi, I am new in the mid-Atlantic area as of January but literally just moved from Baltimore where I fished the Gunpowder weekly to Arlington this weekend. I am looking for a few super close wade fishing locations to Arlington for my weekly outings - I assume this would be smallmouth, hoping to stay within about an hour or less from Arlington for my weekly trips with only occasional forays for trout which I believe is about 1.5 hours a way whether Gunpowder which I am familiar with or in Shenandoah National Park.

 

Can anybody provide wade fishing locations/google pindrops within 30 mins to an hour from Arlington? I haven't had time to research with heavy workload but going tomorrow on my afternoon off. Not asking for specific holes just where to access/park.

 

Also, I joined the club in January knowing I would move to VA but have never received any emails I don't think about events - tying, fishing, etc. though I see Beer Tie and other things mentioned on this forum I don't keep up with it since google requires us, as far as I can tell, to tie it to a google account which I don't read. 

 

Is there any mailing list or other places to find out what is happening? Also, is there any way to tie this google group to another account so I can have the traffic delivered to me?

 

Appreciate your assistance on any of these many questions - wanting to get actively involved...

Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} closest wade fishing to Arlington and upcoming events?

I used to fish Violette's lock with some luck from panfish at least and there seem to be more consistent deep holes on the MD side there?
