{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Fishing the Tidal Basin Tuesday

3 questions:
Were you wading?
What time of day were you fishing?
And lastly, where is the best place to park for this particular strech?
Thanks for the help.

I was fishing on the side by the FDR war memorial, a chart/white clouser size #2, cast up and strip the fly close to the wall. When you first come down the walk way make a right and go up in the corner by the bridge and work your way down, there is a low branch providing a little shade  farther up and that spot holds a few good bass every trip. Directly behind the memorial is a marble bench for some reason they love that spot also.

I fished the tidal basin Tuesday and caught several good size smallmout bass and two huge largemouth. The fish seemed to hang up close to the wall especially around any shade or cover in the water. I noticed that the clouser minnows that had red eyes that resemble the bluegills in the river caught all the fish. I was having a pretty good trip until I was snagged between my thumb and index finger while unhooking a huge smallmouth. I'm tying a few flies with the red eyes to see if the fish really prefer them.
