{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Good Wade-able places in NOVA?

Isn't it sad when one sour grape can spoil the bunch. We are avid fly fishers. All of us, and we should all be totally committed to conservation both in terms of the ecosystems of the waters we fish and above all, protecting the fish themselves. I have never met a fly fisherman that did not swear by catch and release ideals and I hope I never do! This board is for avid fly fishermen/women for the purpose of sharing the sport and advancing our collective knowledge. I assume its also for social purposes so us fly fishermen can hook up with others of our ilk and pass the day away swapping fish stories, which is also something most of us love to do. Lets face it, most of us share the same traits, so its not too hard to spot a fake in the midst if that were an issue, which I do not think it is here.

Most know that I live in Woodbridge.  Most of my wading when I flyfish has been in Central Virginia on the Rappahannock and Rapidan Rivers for smallmouth bass.  Where are some good places near Woodbridge that are good for wading?  Can you wet-wade these places (I hate wearing waders in the summer because of heat)?  What species are good there?

The Rappahannock is about 40 minutes from where I am now.  I use to have some private accesses into the river but I have lost contact with the people that had given me permission (some of them moved too).  There are some okay places to wade near Fredericksburg but these places tend to get more pressure because they are accessable.  Are there any other public places that get less pressure?  How do you access them?

These questions are spawning because I am going to take a friend of mine flyfishing in a few weeks.  This will be his first experience with flyfishing and I really want to put him on some fish.  I figure that bream and smallmouth bass are the best opportunity and they are easy to catch.  If anyone else has some suggestions please let me know.
