{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: First time on the Potomac for a 10 year old

Paul,

 

On Sunday I ran up to the Old Angler's area of the C/O to hike with the family (and conduct some advance scouting of this location). One question - how was getting down to the fishable water? I have a 2.5 yr old and have been looking for a good blue location to get him hooked. From your post the frequency of blue gill strikes should do the trick!

 

Thanks,

Jeremy

Thanks for the advice David.  I took him up there on Saturday and we had a blast.  He pulled in blue gills cast after cast, along with one smallmouth.  They are currently doing construction on the Tow Path out there, so we had to park up near the Falls and walk down.  Maybe a 2 mile walk - no big deal but something to take note of if anyone else is headed up there soon.  The signs said the construction would be complete sometime this fall.

We saw some huge carp as well, but I haven't figured out how to entice them yet.

Anyway, great day, thanks for the help!

Check the recent post about bluegill fishing on Widewater.  C/O Canal next to Old Angler's Inn.  Easy drive, parking, hike, and fishing.
