I tried to fish from shore last year while my name was on the waitlist for a boat but didn't have much luck. It's tough to really get your line out there with a fly rod, you really need to get into the main currents to have a shot at fish. Granted I didn't have waders but I think the area around Fletcher's would be tough to wade.
I'd suggest using a spinning rod if you want to fish from shore.
As others have said, the area around chain bridge seems to work well for shore fishing.

I am going to try to catch my first shad ever this coming weekend. I don't really know much about it other than reading from the forum. I am planning on fishing from shore at fletchers. I have never been to fletchers either. I am going to tie some shad darts this week in pink and chartreuse. I currently only have a floating line unfortunately and hopefully that wont hinder my ability to catch a shad!Any tips or tricks would be much appreciated when it come to fishing from shore, I have never fished in the Potomac before and will get my DC license from fletchers as well.thanks!Davis
