{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Striped bass between Occoquan and 301

Mathias point is the second one down stream that I haven't fished much.  The one I've had luck at is in the Fairview Beach area.  When heading down stream after you pass Aquia and Potomac creeks, the river makes a big turn to the left, start looking for it in this area.  The one at Mathias is down streamnthere where the river sharply turns right and the power plant and 301 bridge come in to view.

Bob....You are talking about the Nav marker for Mathias Point, right?

Down the Potomac there is a similar place, in the salt water area, off of Ragged Point.  I have caught stripers trolling through that area while sailing out to the bay on my Sailboat.

There is always the infamous Gravelly Point. 

For some reason the Stripers focus on current.  They also like low light. 

Stripers on the fly are one of my favorites!!!

Does anyone have any pointers for fishing striped bass between the Occoquan river and 301 bridge.  I see mostly people fishing the bottom for catfish, and most of the bass fisherman working the creeks for largemouth.  Is there any potential in this stretch of the Potomac, or do you need to go past 301 for the salinity?  Does anyone know of any guides that work this particular area, especially geared towards the fly fishermen?
