Pacemaker Fishing Forum

still yet to join one of these and really want to ...... but i'll be wading Little Juniata and/or Spring Creek up in PA over the weekend.  Also - i have your flies Ernie - let me know when you're around and i can meet you at ABC lakes next week.

I will keep checking back to see if this takes off. If nothing else happens, my default will be hitting LHC/D creeks in Alexandria. They are usually (emphasis added to usually) pretty calm, especially D. D was very high and muddy last weekend (duh . . .). There were a lot of snakehead sightings, with no results unfortunately.

So far, Ernie, Herman, Andrew, Greg and maybe Il Duce.

Where do you guys want to go?

Wanna float Lander to POR?

Or just go to Algonkian and paddle/peddle aground?

Tyler may be in as well.
Algonkian means we have to paddle BACK upstream.  I remember that from a couple years ago...yuck in my slow 10' Tarpon.  I have never fished Lander to POR.  So, that is my vote.

Definitely understand taking into account how high the Potomac is running.  What about doing one of the creeks off the potomac (Mattawoman, Kanes, etc)?  Just an idea.

Ashburn Lake is REALLY close!

I just looked at Algonkian....water is high and fast and discolored. I will look at it again tomorrow o see if settles down a bit.

POR will be at 3.9-4 on Monday AM....is that doable?

I was on tidal Potomac yesterday (Occoquan River, Belmont Bay over to Gunston Cove and Pohick Bay) Water was quite stained. On the plus side, not much debris. River levels are dropping so looking forward to upper river reports. I'd like to join this float if conditions improve...

I went up to Goose Creek and fished the creek.  It was in decent shape (green with a stain).  I fished back in the river and it ranged from green stained to muddy.  Upriver should be better.  Fishing was much better in the creek.  I only caught 3 small SM in the river.  Two just drifting with a tube and one on a rebel wee crayfish.  Nice day but got warm and was getting crowded.  Definitely not "on fire".
