Lisa,
We have found that it's best to let the river drop to 3 ft or below at the little falls station for safe wading in the Potomac. Here's the website to check:
The river usually doesn't get this low until mid summer, but if you do go out there, go with a friend, a wading staff and it is a good idea to wear a pfd. Until then, fishing from the bank and outlying rocks around the chain bridge area and above Fletchers can yield some pretty good shad and striper catches.

Hello all, I am looking to make my first trip out to the Potomac next Sat (May 7th) and I'm looking for suggestions on where to wade. I'm aware that the rain may make it difficult to wade next weekend so it could just turn into a scouting trip. I do like to catch fish but I also like to get away from the crowds so I'm not afraid to may a hike to a more secluded fishing hole. Any suggestion on areas I should look into would be greatly appreciated. I have a 6 and an 8 weight rod and a large supply of wolly buggers, crayfish and closures. Any suggestions on which rod to use and favorite patterns would also be helpful. Also, do you guys suggest using a PFD when wading?--
Thanks!
Lisa
