November 15, 2018. River has been fishing fair. Larger Browns have been caught on #2 Kreelexes, 6th Men and Kelly Galloup Streamers like Dungeons, Nancy P's and Barely Legals. These can all be found on our catalog. Nymphing riffles and runs has also been productive the past Month and will continue to be through the Winter. #14-#16 Pheasant Tails, Copper Johns, Hares Ears, Mercer's Caddis, San Juan Worms will all pull good numbers of fish for you. #4 and #6 Clawdads and Crittermites are also great patterns to nymph especially if you are looking for larger fish.  Projected Flows can be found here http://www.nab-wc.usace.army.mil/northBranch.ht

November 15, 2018, The Potomac has been on the high side  with rains all season. Winter fishing for smallmouth can be productive on milder days. Look to fish deeper behind any blocking type structure. #2 Clawdads in Black-N-Blue, Wood and Tan will bring some good sized Smallmouth to your net. Flourescent Yellow Clawdads have produced the best though this time of year. White CK Baitfish in #1-#4/0 will also take larger smallmouth when fished slow and suspended. All of our fly tying materials, fly patterns and more on our catalog.  easterntrophiesflyfishing.bigcartel.com

November 15, 2018. It's Musky time on the Upper Potomac. 8-10 weights, Sinking lines and Big Flies. #5/0 Musky Critter Dogs, #2/0-#4/0 Kreelexes, #2/0 Hangtime Optic Minnows and #2/0-#4/0 Beufords are what we are throwing. Deeper pools are where the fish are this time of year. Look for dark water and ledge type areas. Wood structure will also hold fish. Use 80lbs bite tippet or wire to ensure a solid hook set.

September 12, 2018. Mossy has had a tough year. Record setting flood levels really caused some havoc and destruction. The trout are still there though. Flows have been high and off color. The rains this weekend from the hurricane could raise levels on Mossy to destructive levels again. Send us an email for current conditions. 

 September 12, 2018, River is very high and flowing at over 1,000 CFS. Flows will only increase with the rains expected from hurricane. It's a great time to stay inside and tie some flies. All of our fly tying materials, fly patterns and more on our catalog.  easterntrophiesflyfishing.bigcartel.com
