Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Potomac North of Harper's Ferry

I was up around harpers ferry yesterday and the river is still smoked.  Going to be a bit until it is fishable.

Michael,

I have not been up there, but recommend the following web site that shows the water levels of the Potomac at Hancock.  The water levels are up about 5 feet  from 3 ft to 8 ft.  Your choice but with the high water and high high flows, I would not chance it.


And this site links all the monitoring stations in Maryland.

I'm wondering if anyone has seen the Potomac north of Harper's Ferry since all the rains of the last few weeks and whether the fishing conditions might be decent. Was thinking about taking my canoe up that way this weekend.  Am particularly interested in the area between Williamsport and Hancock. Thanks, Michael

{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: John Gierach, R.I.P.

Good Flies was a really cool book of his, for anyone out there that hasn't read it. A fair bit of attribution & brief discussions of the origins for a wide selection of patterns and some interesting back stories on them made for a very entertaining book.Most of all, he was able to not take himself too seriously while earnestly discussing his thoughts on flies -- aesthetically and practically --and it was a really fun read. I'd recommend it to anyone who tinkers at the vise, and is always modifying something. Even where you may disagree with him (he likes foam, I hate it; he hates bead heads, I'm quite okay with them) sitting with considered and crafted text (I wouldn't call them arguments) was very much worth the exercise in terms of considering my own assumptions.  It also didn't hurt that he & AK Best had a really long history and a ton of Best's thought on materials and techniques show up in the book as well.
