{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} This Winter at 4MR

      I am pretty new to this group and this is the first thread I have created and I would just like to say thanks again for all the awesome information and reports everyone has put up on this forum. I would like to thank Dan Davala especially for creating such an awesome community to share the love of fishing in this area. I am an all around fisherman usualy doing mostly spin fishing but this forumn has encouraged me to dust off my fly rod and start to improve my fly casting skills. I have started meeting TPFR members like Gene (turbine blade) and Dan at four mile run and everyone is awesome. I am looking forward to meeting more of you at the beer tie.
 
    So in this post i just wanted to make an attempt to give back a little by sharing my personal experience in fishing four mile run in the winter the last few years. I have seen a lot of posts with people asking how four mile has been with lots of mixed reports and I just wanted people to know that with the right timing tide wise it has been good all winter regardless of weather. I have fished it all winter 2-3 times a week and have even caught fish on the coldest days (19 degrees +)

  In my experience the winter fishing is always best on an outgoing tide when the warm water from the discharge is brought downstream past the bridges. The bigger bass seem to hang out mostly on the deeper side of the stream where the Toyota dealership is. I have been hitting them on clouser minnows mostly with the occasional pickup on big wolly buggers. The crappie have been schooling alot under the deep side of the route one bridge and i have been getting them on clousers and wolly buggers as well. They seem to prefer white right now.
