The Info. now is they are ahead of schedule. The upper gates are in place. It is felt that they can deal with sediment issues much better now. Garrett Co. got 262 inches of snow. We need a slow melt.
That is a shame. I think it is just poor marketing. Their products are just as good as the others in the high end market. I think they have had financial problems before.
I live close to the Savage and think we must take a wait and see attitude. I understand that a person connected to Savage River Outfitters fished the PHD Hole approx. 2 weeks ago and caught a couple of browns.
The water was running at 1,850 cfs. maybe three weeks ago. It is now at 56 CFS. I have seen it at 700 cfs when white water olympic trials were held. Can’t imagine what the river looked like at 1,850.
The upper gates are supposed to be in place by mid March. Certainly we don’t need a rapid snow melt. I did here that it was very muddy, but has cleared up.
You can go to the Maryland DNR Fisheries web site and click on Savage River to view what is occuring.
If I hear anything, I wll post it here.Ok, I just googled “steaming blue crabs”. Whole bunch of stuff on there. My suggestion is Capital Cookbook” Under that is Steaming Blue Crabs. Capital in this arena is Annapolis, Md. Right on the Chesapeake Bay. Lots of good restaurants in Annapolis selling steamed crabs. Some folks also put beer in to the recipe. I never could tell any taste difference. If you use beer, go cheap.
There is a chance they will die if kept over night. I have seen crabs kept in the river where they came from and live over night. I don’t know why but a few of them lost their claws.
No, do not eat dead crabsDo what JT said. I crab the Chesapeake Bay too. Using a line and netting them is fun. You will need a little wt. to get the chicken necks/bait to the bottom. Bring them in slowly after you seen the line go out. They will swim while they eat. Bring the net up under them. You can do this on a pier or a boat. Steam the crabs separately from the corn, etc. Old Bay is the “gold standard”.
I still crab with my grandchildren. Lotsa fun. I would think most bait/tackle shops can help you.I don’t know what you mean by wearing out the folks at Fish Hawk. They do have a good selection of tying materials and a wealth of knowledge. Besides, they are local. Their business has been slow because of the bad weather in Ga. Go ahead and wear them out.
Have a question. Do these hook disgorgers kill a lot of fish? I use to go out on charter boats using chum. Small stripers [rockfish] would be flipped over board via a metal hook disgorger. On one trip, I remember osprey behing us and other boats picking up stripers. Must say I was impressed with the size of the fish the birds could pick up.
The fish do see some rough handling.
Switched to fly rodding over 10 yrs. ago. I feel this is much better for the fish.
I find fly fishing to be an addiction.
I do know that the chum wasThis is ridiculous. What Tyler said is one of the real problems. Another is certainly pollution.
I do not see the purpose in this. I live in Cumberland and fish the bay a couple of times a year with some one that has a boat.
Omega kills a lot of menhaden, the government should do something about them.Hook and Hackle does not discount Loomis or St.Croix Rods. They are locked into MSRP on those items.
Just received the new Fly Fisherman Magazine today and there is an article called The Didymo Threat. The article basically said that felt is still better for slick conditions.
