Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Rock Creek near Tilden

Howdy Dan,

I also live in DuPont. Remick, I think I met you and your girlfriend out on 4 mile run a couple weeks back (?)

I'm headed over to P street around 4pm. Water may be crap due to rain, but perhaps not. I'll try and post once I'm down there.

I've had better luck fishing below P St towards the river than I have above towards the Zoo. The pools and structure are better and the fish more numerous and bigger. Those bass are really cagey in there. You gotta sneak up on em and be really careful with fly presentations so they don't spook. I've been having more success fishing nymphs of late. Top water action hasn't attracted much other than bluegill (bleh!)

Just joined this group, a lot of great information and advice....wish I would have known about it sooner!

I went to Rock Creek Park last week after work and fished from just above the P Street Bridge up to the Zoo riding my bike between fishy looking runs.

There are a lot of fish in the creek - surprising to me especially since I have tried looking for them before while riding through the park.  Saw a lot of decent size bass, plenty of bluegill and a ton of cruising catfish.  

Fished a variety of different flies - mostly buggers, muddler minnows, hoppers and various dry flies.  Caught one good sized catfish on a muddler and bluegill on everything I threw at them (that they could fit in their mouths).  Couldn't elicit strikes from any of the bass but will return armed with clousers and some other bass patters to see if that helps.

If anyone wants to fish the creek after work next week let me know - I live closeby in Dupont so I can easily make my way over.

Cheers,

Dan
