{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Shad fishing from VA side of Potomac?

Peter.  I have a piece being published in the VDWR magazine in March/April 2023 on urban fishing that features waters on the Virginia side, including a few paragraphs of fishing with Rob Snowhite under the Chain Bridge.  BTW, you can get a fly out in the current on that spot with a good roll cast of a sinking line, swing and retrieve.    Keep an eye out for that edition as it covers alot of other waters we are all very aware of.  Should be a fun read!  Gregg Rockett

I've offered to write a piece for Virginia's DWR fishing blog on the spring shad/striper run from the VA side of the Potomac.  

(I usually fish at Fletcher's so I know that the DC side provides great access… and I have fished the VA side once near the bridge.)

But I'd be interested in thoughts from the collective on other spots along the VA side of the river, launch points for watercraft, fishing tips, conventional and fly rods, flies and conventional lures.

Happy New Year!

Thanks,
