{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: [legally] wadeable smallmouth spot within 90 mins of Arlington?

Have yet to try out the confluence, but I've fished the Rapidan at the Elys Ford Crossing, a couple miles upstream from the confluence (there's a parking lot at the bridge), and had success. Some very interesting holding water there, downstream especially from the put-in. 

For those who fish the confluence: Where do you park?

Some friends and I are looking to fish for bass around July 11. We're trying to keep things low-budget and local - so no boat or guides. One of the guys is a moderately experienced fly fisher, and the other is a casual spin fisher, so going after carp may be a bit too much of a challenge for the latter.

Any ideas on somewhere relatively close to NoVa where we could wade (legally and at least somewhat safely) for bass? Ideally, I'm looking for somewhere nice looking (so no 4MR, for example), relatively easy to figure out/fish, and that is off the beaten path/not full of people.

If there aren't any great options, I guess we could fish a lake. But that's not the most exciting prospect. If we go the lake route, I think we'll probably head to Burke.
