Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Trying tenkara on Constitution Gardens?

And second the Tidal basin. I used to walk over there after work. Biggest fish I've ever got on a fly is a 15 inch catfish in the basin. Ton of fun on the fight.

Ran by Constitution Gardens yesterday and there were a few small fish in there. Not a ton, but if you walk around you'll see them and can cast to them.

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!
