Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Fish active on 4 Mile Run

Never got one on a fly.� But on spin gear they seem to like top water if there in shallow areas.� Ive lost many nice top water baits due to big carp hitting 8lb line.

Awesome! That had to be exciting. The carp have continued to elude me, and I figured I would just have to wait until next Spring for another shot. But I guess there's still hope for this year!

Hi Everyone,

I've been following this group a while but this is my first time posting.� Thanks for all of the valuable info!�

I planned to try out a new spot today near my house on 4 Mile Run as the weather was terrific!� I seem to hear of some success here now and again.� I ran into Rob down at Orvis who confirmed for me that yes! there are fish in 4MR (thanks for the suggestions).� There were some giants going after surface bugs for sure.� This was right around the water treatment plant as the tide was going out tonight.� I caught one small bass no larger than my hand, then I landed the largest fish I've ever caught of my 5 weight.....� I think it was a 5 or 6 lbs, 25-30 inch Carp.� It fought pretty well for 5 minutes (carefully reeling it in as to not break my 5wt!). I snapped these photos as I was bringing it in, then quickly let it go since it looked extremely tired.� Picture quality isn't that great, I put my boot out so that you can gauge the size a bit more.

I could definitely head back down there later this week if anyone is interested (maybe Wednesday)
