{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Moving to Arlington in June - looking for advice

Miles thank you for the response!! I am taking my time and looking over the recent threads about the hickory shad as well as the stripers.

I will be sure to attend the next beer tie to network, listen and learn about the fishery.

Your last message makes me hopeful, if there are fish to be caught I will figure out how to get to them!!!!!!!

Lastly, any guides you might recommend? 

Tight lines!

Welcome, Chad. You'll find lots of friendly and helpful anglers in this club, Yambag notwithstanding. Since you'll be in Arlington, the best way to get plugged in is to attend one of the Beer Ties.

The advice you get is going to depend on your equipment, budget, and time. Some of us chase stripers up and down the Chesapeake, while some of us stay in the Potomac. If you're pretty deep into the sport, you probably have the gear to catch stripers in any number of spots around here.

If you search previous messages, you can find a ton of info on where and when folks catch fish. Keep an eye on the forum around early June, and you'll see folks start to catch schoolie stripers in the Potomac in Arlington (technically, it's DC water), around Chain Bridge. If you want bigger fish, that's probably a Chesapeake trip. If you have the budget, a great way to get started around here is to hire a guide.

best,
Miles
