Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Rock Creek near Tilden

Creek Chub?  I find them all over the place in the small runs around the beltway and even on the North Fork of the Shenandoah.  They will hit a #10 black woolly bugger with gusto.

Subject: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Rock Creek near Tilden

Fished rock creek today by the Connecticut Avenue Bridge. Throwing a size 6 white shminnow, I managed to catch two of these cool looking chubs (around 10-12"), 12 sunfish, four largemouth (biggest was 12'), and two smallies in a couple hours. It was an awesome day and the similarities to a trout stream are spot on (albeit it does smell). After living less than a quarter mile away from fishable water for most of my life, I am now kicking myself for not exploring this spot earlier. I waded without interruption and was only stopped by a policeman who was curious to see how the fishing was. I saw several larger bass (about 2-4lbs) in some of the deeper pools. Fish were caught in deep pools beneath riffles or on rip rap in 3-5ft of water. Does anyone know the proper name of the fish in the pic?

I can't believe it, but this guy took a hares ear nymph on rock creek.  I also saw the biggest cat fish under the bridge there.  Anyone else fishing rock creek?
