Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Fishing spot for a beginner

I went hiking in Big Gunpowder State Park a few weekends ago with my old lady and another lady friend, and it was a really nice walk, though we didn't do any fishing. We parked in the parking lot off BelAir and walked south.  Not sure if people fish in that area or not (I think most go north of that), but it was really nice.  Maybe an hour from DC?

I'd say about 30-40 minutes from DC.

I wouldn't really call Chain Bridge a good spot for beginners, with the tough wading, sketchy rocks, dangers, etc.

 

Drew – what's your driving distance limit?

You do have to be aware of the rocks behind you, but I had no problem with a full back cast.  If you're using something heavier like a large clouser minnow it takes some more effort to keep your back cast high enough, but certainly do-able.
