Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Duck Pond and river conditions

The duck pond is just another name for Roaches Run Waterfowl Sanctuary, on the west side of the George Washington Memorial Parkway near Reagan National airport. It has a number of species including largemouth bass, snakeheads, carp and catfish. 

I have fished it both on foot and from the canoe. If you're on foot, I'd suggest keeping to the south end of the pond -  between the airport exit and the channel that passes under the parkway. 

Park in the lot for the Waterfowl Sanctuary (aka the lot that is full of cars for hire waiting to pick people up at the airport) and walk along the parkway on the small bridge over the channel. You can either follow the path around to the water and get in there or keep walking along the parkway and get in at the southern end of the pond. 

As for the canoe, there's a small access point along the edge of the pond at the north end of the parking lot. 

Good luck!

How do you all get back there--on canoes/kayaks? Is it possible to wade back there? A few months ago I checked it out a little bit but couldn't figure out if there was a safe way to actually enter the water.

It also gets muddy. But it can still fish well when it's muddy!

When the rains come, the river muddies, and the water level rises -- e.g., to more than 5 feet on the Little Falls gauge -- is the Duck Pond still fishable or does it get muddy too?
