Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Need Some Advice

If you are coming from trout land,  Just think big.   Size 10 is the smallest thing I use and that is for bluegill, not that I won't catch a bass with it but when fishing for bass I usually start as size 8 and work my way up to size 2.  

Chain bridge is a mixed blessing of places.  Sometimes great, but it isn't the easiest place to fish.   Fishing the tidal Potomac is still a bit of a mystery to me, but a rising tide in the morning or evening is usually the best time.

If you fish the canal, try right below a lock.  It is usually wider there.  Size 6-10 wolleybugger stripped slowly (play with the retrieve) should give results.  Don't be afraid to keep moving.  Just don't hook a bicycle on the backcast.

Hey all,

I am new to the Arlington/DC area and looking for some advice! 

Last week I tried fishing Chain bridge...(1) I hated it because of the ridiculous amount of people (2) I didn't get a bite. I tried a black woolybooger and a clouser minnow during a falling tide. My first mistake was probably going out on Memorial Day. 

I then went and tried Gravely Point on a Wednesday night during a falling tide, which was a much more enjoyable experience. I used a clouser and wooly again, but I failed to get any bites. 

Can anyone offer me any advice on where to fish and what to use? Being from Michigan and purely trout fishing, this is all a bit new to me! Any help is appreciated! 

Thanks,

Jacob Weaver
