muskalungee  08/29/2005 - 17:42  Friends of MDfishing.org  River    Every year on Columbus Day Jeff and I float the Upper Potomac from Bond's Landing to Little Orleans. This year the MDfishing.org membership has exploded and we've been trying to find a way to get everyone together to finally meet in person and do a little fishing. We've decided to open this trip up to all who are interested. No real details yet, we're just trying to gauge interest.

Here's what I need right now.
1 - If you're interested in the float
2 - If you have a boat to fish from (kayak or canoe)
3 - If you have room for another in your boat or an extra vessel to share with someone who doesn't have a boat

ogbudha  09/06/2011 - 18:30  Friends of MDfishing.org  Potomac    The Potomac River is forecasted to severely flood in the upcoming week. The high water is predicted to crest at 32 ft @ the POR gauge. When this occurs it will crest the C/O canal in multiple locations. This high water event will cause many fish to be become stranded and trapped in the normally dry C/O canal. Then as the water receeds these fish become stranded and they will ultimately perish as the water slowly drains back out of the once dry canal. We are in need of a few volunteers to assist with recovery efforts through the Washington,Frederick and Montgomery County areas. This same exact event occured this spring as well as the spring prior and recovery efforts saved thousands of fish.

ogbudha  05/24/2011 - 05:14  Friends of MDfishing.org  Potomac    The Potomac River flooded last week and crested the C/O canal in multiple locations. This high water event will cause fish to be become stranded and trapped in the normally dry C/O canal....ultimately killing them as the water slowly drains back out.I am in need of a few volunteers. This same event happened last spring and recovery efforts saved thousands of fish.
We specifically need individuals who are going to be in chest high, muddy, rock infested, logjam filled water. ( paints a pretty picture doesn't it?) I need thick chest waders, no slip ( no felt) boots ,etc. Individuals should be prepared to get dirty and work very hard in and around boulders,downed trees and mud. This is very labor intensive work and in very difficult work environment.

Doesn't look good. I won't pretend to ever be able to take up the slack but MDFishing is still alive and kicking if people want to congregate here.

ogbudha  03/21/2010 - 08:45  Friends of MDfishing.org  Potomac    We are doing another recovery effort tommorow AND WE NEED HELP.

We are planning to electrofish the pool at Big Woods (between Taylors and Dam 4) on Monday. Our earlier recovery efforts saved the lives of several hundred fish. As the water drops ( which it is quickly doing) we need to react as quickly as possible.

I need 10 people to assist the DNR/NPS tommorow. I specifically need individuals who are going to be in chest high, muddy,cold, rock infested, logjamb filled water. ( paints a pretty picture doesnt it?) I need thick chest waders, no slip ( no felt) boots ,etc. Individuals should be prepared to get dirty and work very hard in and around boulders,downed trees and mud. This is very labor intensive work and in very difficult work environment.

smalljaw  03/09/2010 - 21:10  Friends of MDfishing.org  Local and Independant Tackle Dealers    Heads Up!

http://caseplastics.com/ got a cease and desist from another manufacturer on their Sweet Pea product so they had to pull it off their website. It is a beaver style bait that is sized correctly for smallies. I use them ALOT. Anyway, they sold me some of their existing inventory at cost. If you like Case and beaver style baits give them a call. I bought 102 bags in all different colors for $1.15/bag. That's over 1,000 Beavers ... bwahahahahaha

jackson  02/04/2010 - 14:42  Friends of MDfishing.org    Have not posted since May of last year! Have been checking in every so often though! Enjoyed reading all's success stories. Did not get much fishing in since last spring due to health issues. Then fall was here and I picked up the bow! Short lived though! Had a heart-attack on 10/19/09, received a stent that evening, then transported to Johns Hopkins on 10/20/09 where I spent couple weeks. Had a Quad-bypass. Finally returned home on 11/3/09! Currently doing rehab and working out so I'll be able to paddle that boat up current on the little river come spring! Can't Wait!!!!! Good Luck to all!
