Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} NW Branch delayed harvest trout area

My (1, good) Anacostia River fishing story: I went during the cicada hatch a couple years ago. Live bugs on the water, cats cruising the banks, I couldn't get a sniff. I was ready wrap it up and thought I'd dredge the bottom for a couple casts. Tied on a jig-head type fly with a Mr Twister tail that works well for river smallies. First cast, on the drop, and the line rips through my fingers. My best Bill Dance set and "snap!" That was either a nice snakehead or a big kitty fish. Gotta tie some more of those "flies."

I've assisted Chris Campo with derbies on the Anacostia itself, and it is much cleaner than I expected. I know he fishes for snakehead there from a kayak. 

Andrew Reichardt did a podcast and video on snakehead fishing there as part of the Seven Fisheries in Seven Days project.  

Here's more info on fishing the Anacostia from the River Keeper site: https://www.anacostiariverkeeper.org/programs/recreation-and-access/

I can't wait for the AWRP to turn this around with our support. Shad runs above and below DC!!!

Best,

honestly the Anacostia system could be an amazing fishery with a little water quality improvement.

yea, can't imagine any holdovers but the fact that they thought it was worthwhile to do it is pretty interesting/encouraging. Now if only they could clear out some of the obstacles to shad passage and take out the Burnt Mills dam...

Yes, it shows on the DNR Trout stocking map that it was stocked 4/22.

Pretty much in my back yard. Never knew.

Just saw a posting from 2022 while walking along the NW branch about a delayed harvest put-and-take trout area/no fishing zone-has anyone else heard about or seen this?
