Matt,
Fished that area on Wednesday, Point of Rocks from 6am-9:30am and Harpers Ferry 10am-2pm. I have been fishing a blue popper with pretty decent success both early morning and late evening. Working it with a quick strip, not too loud. There were quite a few bass breaking the surface at Harpers even in full sun which surprised me. A #4 chartreuse clouser swinging over rocks worked really well on smaller fish at harpers mid-day. From what I saw fish held tight in grassy shade where available as the day got hotter. Good luck have a great trip.

--Matt:Fished the area many times via drft boat. You want a floating line. dead drift poppers (blue damsels are everywhere right now) also dahlberg divers in pink, white, or chartreuse - give these action, point the rod tip at them strip line in ; strip, strip pause - repeat. Keep the slack in your line to a minimum so you can strip set the hook when a fish takes. If you want to drift the area with a guide I know a bunch of good ones - hit me offline and I will connect you.CharlieOn Wed, Jul 18, 2012 at 5:34 PM, Matt Inbusch <minbusch@gmail.com> wrote:
Hi all, I'm new to the area but have been exploring a bit, so thanks for all the tips. Headed up to Harpers Ferry to do some canoe camping this weekend (these particular friends, unfortunately, are not fishermen). But I am, and was wondering if anybody has tips for the Shenandoah immediately downstream from Harpers (within 10 miles or so), or the Potomac just below Harpers (will be camping the first night at the Brunswick campground, which looks like it is right on the Potomac). Was gonna pick up some woolley buggers to add to a flybox that is pretty well-stocked with dries and terrestrials (plan on fishing a floating line, unless anyone strongly advises a sinking line for that area). Any thoughts welcome, thanks! Matt
