I go back as far as I can get into the Occoquan. In the end of September it usually gets productive. That is if they are releasing water from the dam because you need water flow to get them to come up.
I checked it today. There is MAJOR construction in Occoquan. They are tearing down that old building that was right near the area I am talking about (Part of the Fairfax water treatment complex). It is shut down in that area and they aren't releasing water from the dam. I hope that this doesn't go on much longer because it is getting close to GO time for this area. Two years ago the stripers were THICK in that area because the baitfish were piled up there. I caught a lot of other species too, but I had a 40 fish day where I was catching fish on most casts. If they don't let water flow it is useless to fish that area.

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?
