Best books - Ted Leeson's The Habit of Rivers is a real classic, IMHO. And his Jerusalem Creek ain't exactly to be sniffed at.

Trip report:
Put in on Goose Creek at 4:30 last night. Bright sunny warm afternoon, wasn't expecting great fishing because of bright conditions. As I paddled down Goose Creek I was joined by others also enjoying a great place to paddle. I went to my usual summer pattern on the potomac, a white crystal Estes bead head with marabeau tail size 4. As I floated I hit the fishy looking spots, big rocks, downed trees, darker spots, shaded areas. In the next 4 hrs. On the way done to Algonkian park I Managed to land 6 smalies and 2 cat fish, lost another 4 smalies. Great evening to be out. Lots of wild life, Blue Heron, Bald Eagles, fox, and many others out enjoying the Potomac. Took out at 8:45, next time I would make a 6 hr. Trip so I can fish more and paddle less.

I'm in the same boat. Was thinking about Gravelly Point Park or 4 mile
run...staying away from the crowds. Never fished either before (not new to
fly-fishing...just new to it in this area).
No luck fishing the South Fork/Lurray last weekend camping on hellgrammite
patterns or surface poppers, but did pull some decent plate size Bluegill
and a few bass from Lake Arrowhead with surface poppers (wading from
shore).
Cheers
Collin on Cap Hill.

Saw a beautiful juvenile snakehead in the pickerel weed at four mile today and a monster at the rte 1 bridge. Now that the other bridge is gone there is a clean bank to cast from.
We fished 4 Mile with out much luck today.

"The Last Pool: Upstream and Down and Big Stoney." by Howard T Walden.
My absolute favorite "fishin' stories" read. An easy chair, glass of whiskey, a roaring fire and snow falling outside is the perfect situation for reading this one.

Blues by John Hersey, Its about bluefish and two characters named *fisherman

Scott Waldies series about Traver's Corners is great too.

On the humorous side, I like the Patrick McManus collections and I enjoyed
Raising Hackles on the Hatties Fork if you can find it.

On the Run by Dave DiBenedetto is a great one. He (he's currently the
Editor in Chief at Garden and Gun, previously Editor in Chief at SaltWater
Sportsman) follows the fall striper run from Kennebec, ME, to Cape
Hatteras, NC. Lots of discussion on the history, conservation, and science
of the fish that built America in there, plus he meets a number of the
striper "greats" and has some good fishing stories in there as well.

While there is trout fishing in the mountains, don't overlook the
smallmouth fishing.

I did some research for a trip that didn't happen, so I don't have first
hand experience, but it looked like there were plenty of opportunities.
