The Tidal Basin will put you in contact with a dozen species of mostly small but possibly large fish.
I've scored striped bass, smallmouth, and largemouth on a single outing. I also wrestled something for 45 minutes on ultralight rig with a grub (probably a large catfish).
Last time I walked by Constitution Gardens, (it's been a few years) I suspected only a few sunfish might be surviving the low and tepid water.

Subject: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Trying tenkara on Constitution Gardens?
EXTERNAL EMAIL: Stop and use caution before clicking on links or opening attachments.
Hey, I'm probably obviously new to the group, but I'm glad I found you all!
I'm not a local (sorry) but I'm on a national Board that brings me to DC a couple times a year.
Getting away from the mass of crowds, to the extent that I can, is definitely a goal for me. And if fishing is an option, so much the better!
So, here's my question:
I've been trying to learn tenkara fishing, and it sounds like fish at Constitution Gardens pond might be a good target for me?
Why tenkara? Because I can pack the rod and gear on my carry-on bag instead of my bigger fly rod tube and assorted gear.
Why Constitution Gardens? Because it's a close walk from the office I'll be meeting at just north of the Mall.
So, any advice or feedback is welcome! Especially if I should walk a little further to the Tidal Basin, or the Potomac, or just take an entirely different course of action.
Thanks!
