I hit up the canal while waiting for a boat for shad today. Conditions are incredible between Fletcher's and Georgetown. Tons of feeding fish with skinny, clear water. Current is much stronger than usual, so it can be hard to get the right drift sometimes with all the plants around. Not sure what it's like closer to Georgetown, but the first mile south of Fletcher's is worth checking out.

I poked around the canal today around lock 5. I spotted two sizable carp, some catfish, and a few bass. I brought my rod but didn't get any bites. It's a bit tricky fishing because the water is pretty low and a lot of the big plants that began growing close to the path with the water gone are now decaying. There were a few small bass I contemplated casting to but decided not too because they'd just get caught in all the muck and it wasn't worth it.

But nice to see this spot coming back! When I first started learning fly fishing, this was my no. 1 location because it was bikable
