Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Fishing spot for a beginner

i fish there heavily during shad run.  if you park right near the bridge, walk under it to the stream.  maybe 40-60 yards up river of the bridge, there are 2 deep pools.  it was easy back casts in my opinion.  i snagged some saplings behind me occationally.  im just not sure whats in there right now., fish wize.  during shad run im not sure if id even fish anywhere else.  i always make sure im down there way before light.

I've never fly fished from Chainbridge, only spun, but is there enough room to backcast there?  Seems the rocks drop pretty steep.

not sure how chainbridge is right now.  but its a pretty area in my opinion with easy parking, and all you really need are boots and can fish from the rocks.  if i ever wade there, i dont go past ankle deep.

I am taking a lady friend fishing for her first time and am trying to come up with a spot that is easy to access, close to DC and doesn't require waders. My first inclination is the canal, but I've never hooked into a fish there. I've also heard that it is drained right now. Is that true? If not, any advice on what lock to target?

We don't need the world's greatest fishing destination. Just a place to spend a few hours practicing casting and hopefully catching a few fish that is relatively easy to access.

Also, I'll be posting a fishing report on my recent Guadalupe River trip in Texas shortly!

Thanks,

Drew
