Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Place to wade in at Bull Run

BTW - We've never met Dan, but I heard about you from Carl and John at the casting practice last weekend.  Nothing incriminating  ;).  Sometime I hope to run into you out there!

Wow, thanks guys -- I'm still getting used to how friendly fly fishers seem to be.  I wish I had good information to share in return....but maybe that comes with time.  Anyway, my wife and I are still learning and we like small streams that have sunfish.  

Eager-biting sunfish in there I assume?

You can park at the entrance to Hemlock Overlook and hike down the connecting trail to the Bull Run Occoquan Trail.  Take that upstream or downstream.  I have been fishing this stretch for over 20 years and it is still one of my favorites. 

 

Recently, Trent Jones and I floated/paddled 11 miles of Bull Run from Rte. 28 to Bull Run Marina.  About a mile downstream from the Hemlock Overlook access point, the river gets deep and slow.  Your best water for wading and fishing is upstream from Hemlock.  I recommend that you hike up to Clifton Creek, get in there, and fish your way back down.  Watch out during thunderstorms as this river can rise rapidly with little warning.  Look at the high water marks and log jams to see what I mean.  Enjoy Bull Run, it is a true gem!

Hi, what's a good place to wade in at Bull Run?  The marina area looks fairy "big", but up and downstream look inviting.....any tips on where to park to get access? 

 

Thanks,
