{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: I must be the worst fisher of the Todal Basin

What Yambag said: Move around. Fish will be hiding under the trees and such. Cast parallel to the walls. Rob Snowhite has a podcast about fish the Tidal Basin that is very helpful.

I don't fish the tidal basin much, but if you are fishing right in front of the Jefferson that might explain things.  There are better spots.  Try walking around the basin and pay attention to the tides.

As far as gravelly is concerned, I have caught a lot of fish there, but never during daylight hours.

I see post after post of folks catching stuff in the basin....I typically come away not catching a thing. 

I've been down there many many many many times over the past years and get a nibble here or there....or a small fish or two. What am I doing wrong?

Where are the hot spots?

What are the hot flies?

What are the best times to throw my fly?
