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

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
