Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Riverbend Park Fairfax County

Eric,

You need to walk at least five minutes at a fast pace upstream on the sand trail to get to the wading locations. I doubt anyone would come out and tell you to get out of the water if you are that far up. And the PawPaw are in season so be sure to pick some off the trees or sand to eat, its like banana custard!

Anywhere above the fire trail x nature center is all wadable. You can put in  your boat at the ramp and head across the river to fish the braided islands. The boat ramp is really  nasty as all sorts of sediment deposits there.

You could save time by parking at the nature center and taking the fire road down. Look on Google Maps for the pond near the river. Lots of people walk up to the 'pipeline' and fish there. Stick to the rock ledges and drop offs where there is more oxygen and you will find the smallies. Don't hesitate to keep a small bluegill on the line, the big fish WILL eat them off your line there.

I have never fished Riverbend before but would like to give it a try.  I have heard that they recently started a "no wading" policy here.  Can anyone elaborate on this, is it enforced or just a suggestion.  Also do you need to wade here or can you hop from rock to rock to get to a good spot?
