{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Four Mile Run

You should have seen Four Mile Run in June, 1972 during Hurricane Agnes ---  complete with floating Chevy's from the Rosenthal Chevrolet storage lot  in Sihrlington.  Looked like SPring on the Colorado!!

In case you hadn't been to the warm water outflow lately, the attached picture shows the rather dramatic change in the creek structure from summer high water events.  In the picture the left hand side is upstream from opposite the outflow and the right side is looking downstream.   The moon said I should have been catching fish around noon today but only saw some bait fish. The area just down from the outflow is quite shallow now. The deep hole that used to be at the outflow is gone and maybe 40% of the flow moves towards the Alexandria side.  As usual the tidal drop in the creek there is about 2 hours ahead of the river. I'm thinking about going back about noon tomorrow with the intent of exploring a little further downstream. Looks like what used to be a quick trip to the outflow to catch a few bluegills might be a thing of the past.
