{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Schoolies still in session?

May have been me. I was on the Maryland side and I didn't get a single striper. I did hook 5 shad, nothing to brag about, though, and got tossed by a snakehead. I was about 100yds up stream from the bridge fishing in the eddies and out to behind the big rock. Lots of shad and herring hitting the surface, but all my takes were down 3-5ft and it was really muddied up. I was having a hard time with the sink tip as I usually use a sink tip on my 9wt single hander and I was using a 6wt switch. I'm not the best two hander and even worse with the sink tip on, so I that hindered my casts and limited me to about 60ft casts. 

If anyone has any tips on casting a switch with a sink tip in that current, I'm all ears.

I was out at Chain Bridge Saturday morning and caught a small striper, 8 inches, my first. The tide and river were high and still murky from the rains earlier in the week. I saw one other guy fly fishing but looked like he was just getting into herring or shad, it was difficult to tell at 60+ yards.

Has anyone caught any stipers on the Potomac lately or are they already headed out of town?  I'm hoping to hit a spot near Roosevelt Island this week and would like to catch a few before it's too late, but I was up by Chain Bridge last week and all was quiet. So, anyone having any luck of the striped variety?
