I typically use a number 4 Orvis tin shot about 8" above the fly. I tie alot of my wets on a dry fly hook and the weight helps get them down some. Rarely do I...

Thanks Tim, that's exactly what I usually use. I bought my flies so I am not sure which hook they are tied on. Suckers do work though! ... From: "hewthomas"...

Bob-- We had thought of this, but if there is increased poaching, they have to be folks without cars parked in the lots. I have not seen any increase in...

The fish are whacking flying ants and beetle patterns, #16. I had never fished either, and recently tried my hand at tying foam ants and beetles. All I had...
I recently spotted a huge fish in one of the pools around the visitor's center. A fisherman that walked by told me it was trout, that he had hooked but never...
Last year I saw and briefly hooked a very large black bullhead catfish in BHC. I was working up the canyon, still below the log improvement structures, when I...

Fished the Patuxent from 9am - 3pm today. The cicadas are landing on the water and the trout are hammering them. The water temperature was 59 degrees with...
All I can say for sure is that the fish I saw was quite large, very dark, and clearly a catfish of some sort. I did take some photos that may help in a...
Tim-- Thanx for the report on both browns & rainbows. I hope to get out there in the next few days.... Cheers Jay In a message dated 6/6/2004 5:26:35 PM...

In the Potomac, Channel cats will go for flies and are a lot of fun. Clousers are best. These cats are quite vigorous swimmers, much more so than bullheads...
In addition, these channel cats came from a cool clean mountain stream! I can't think of a better eating fish than a fresh catfish from a cool mountain stream...
