Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Fletcher's Cove? - 7/23/22

This is all super helpful. 

Thank you!

Could much of this warm-water fishing be done off of a 5-weight? 

I'm camping near Harper's Ferry next weekend and want to fish the Potomac what I can.  I've heard the small mouth up there is pretty good. 

But with my 5-weight - can it be done? 

What kind of tippet do I need to rig on, or change my leader?

What I'm seeing on YouTube had a lot of sinking lines and weighted flies...

I'll give it a go either way but if you've got a pointer send it this way!!

I meant to reply to the entire thread, but ended up just replying to Owen.  Dyke Marsh, over near Belle Haven Marina on the Potomac, used to be a decent area to fish for bass and sunfish.  I would guess the snakeheads might be in there now too, it's been decades since I've been.  It's a pretty straight forward hike in, but I would recommend going at (more or less) high tide.

Lake Cook is stocked by the State in the spring and fall. Not sure what's in the lake once it heats up.

4MR has fish. The south banks have a lot of brush so casting is a challenge. North banks are more grassy like with a steep slope to the water, but castable. A power piling near Mt Vernon bridge often has a small hole with a small bass or two. It can be easily cast to from the North bank.

I've got a 5 weight WildWater combo. A few hoppers, a few caddis flies, a few  emergers, and some more colorful flies. 

No waders yet, but got a few flies at District Angling last week. 

I headed to Huntsman Lake to get in some casting practice, but I'm thinking there are some better waters around here. 

I've heard 4Mile Run isn't bad and Lake Cook is stocked?

Daniel,

Curious, what weight Rod are you hoping to break-in?

Hey all - 

Trying to break in a new fly rod. I'm pretty novice, but am looking to do a little fishing around DC. Live in Alexandria. 

Is there any action on the Potomac right now? If I go out tomorrow, what should I be fishing? Would it all be streamers and wooly boogers? 

Any feedback would help!!

Thanks!
