RE: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Chain bridge...again

Last month I brought single rod and two-hands rod. I tried both rods as
test. Yes single rod line caught rocks sometime. Two-hands rod with Skagit
line is the best for this area. I fished at little down steam mostly. Up
steam or near/under bridge is full with spin fishermen!

Aaron,

The water under Chainbridge is a high risk/high reward fishery. The rocks,
eddies, and undercurrent makes it a perfect haven for stripers, bass,
snakeheads, etc.
If you are getting caught in the rocks, you are in the strike zone.

With that being said, I have had more luck avoiding snags casting from a
Fletcher's rental boat than from the banks....
