Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: New to fly fishing in Rockville

Never had much luck at Lake Frank - north east end of it is shallow and very heavily silted.  Deepest part is at the dam and it's a fairly steep climb down (and back up) the face of the dam.  If you try it, let us know.

Thanks for the suggestions!  I am going to head out to Needwood this weekend.  I have tried spinner fishing a couple times and you are right about the grass

I might also try Lake Frank, unless there are some problems there???

I have never been to Clopper lake, I will try that out, may go there instead of Needwood this weekend.  Maybe they don't have the algae problem as well.

As far as the Great Falls, I have been there a couple of times, but I was never thinking about fishing.  I usually go to the main parking lot off of Falls Road.  Would I do the same for fishing or are there better locations with less people? 

Thanks again for the tips!

Yeah.. Needlewood is good place. I caught this bass last week. But some tall grass will grab your line.

Clopper lake is better – it has some good opening spots with grass cut.  But you might have to pay fee when someone is in the entrance booth.

You could fish from the bank at Lake Needwood; it's too bad the County closed the Boathouse last week.  There's also Widewater up on the C&O in Potomac at Great Falls.
