Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Harpers Ferry?

I'd say it's worth your while. Harpers Ferry is not the fishery it once was back in day. But still a good spot. Personally I'm a big fan of Chuck Kraft patterns

You may want to try some CK Baitfish , strip it in a few times then pause and let the fly flutter as if it were a injured and/or dying minnow.Also maybe try a Crittermite pattern try dead drifting it . That's my 2 cents

I'm a beginner (and not very good) fly fisherman.  I've been fishing on the Potomac above DC several times this summer with little (= small sunfish) success.  I've heard that Harpers Ferry is mecca for smallmouth wade fishing.  Went up Sunday afternoon with no luck but am thinking about taking off Friday afternoon for one more try at wet wading before the weather cools too much.  

Will it be worth my time?  Any advice?  A guy at White Fly outfitters up there said clousers are their go-to fly.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Rehoboth Beach

John - I have seen carp splash at the surface, but can't remember seeing one do a traditional jump like a smallmouth while hooked. Of course I've seen it while they're swimming free - not sure if its spawning or trying to rid themselves of parasites or what. Glad to see you're still getting into them!!!

Fished yesterday.  The conditions were a bit tough as it was windy.  Lots of turtles and the water was murky making it difficult to sight cast.

I must have foul hooked one because when I hook set, the carp jumped out of the water.  I have caught 20+ carp and never have seen that.

I did not bring him to hand but had lots of good runs.

@Jeff Silvan-ever jumped a carp?

I of course used the silvan slayer carp fly.  (my name not his)

Has anyone done any fishing in the Rehoboth Beach area? I am taking a trip end of next week and hoping to wet a line! Thanks!

{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Know of a waterproof action camera comparable to GoPro?

Definitely go for 64GB or the 128GB if you can find them on sale.  

Also budget some money for the accessories. Backup batteries are a must, especially for cold weather.  The best accessory I've used is a shooting stick, the type with a notch to rest your gun on. It collapses/extends.  Unscrew the gun resting notch and use a camera adapter mount for the action cam.  The pointy end sticks into the ground well if you want to set it and forget it.  I've used it for underwater shots, as a boom above the water and above people, stuck in the ground for time lapses and video.  It's fantastic.

I don't have experience with anythiing other than GoPro but you are correct that high quality video footage takes up a TON of storage.  Filming on the highest resolution setting on GoPro, about 2.5 hrs of footage fills up a 16 GB memory card. If you find you want to film nonstop all day you'd probably want a 64GB card, keeping in mind the battery will likely need to be recharged or swapped out with a backup fully charged one to film that long. So battery life/ease of charging should also be something you consider.

{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Rehoboth Beach

Bring your meat gear as well.  Caught a bunch of small (6-8in) blue fish in the surf on mullet.  Windy conditions may blow you out for the weekend.  You could spend all day carp fishing.  You will see a dock to the right of the clearing.  I knocked on the door and asked the people if I could fish from it and they said ok.

Thank you so much! It looks like a very "carpy"
