{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Recommended Rivers for Double Handed rods in Mid-Atlantic

I am not a believer in fishing two handed rods for the sake of it, but I imagine you could use one on the shenandoah.  Fish probably wouldn't match up to that rod but you could still use it.   Maybe the James?  Rappahannock?  If you are open to driving to NY then there are a ton of places you could use it for steelhead.  People also use them on the delaware for trout and shad.
 
NB Potomac also came to mind but you already had that.

Hi everyone,

So after much reading about the virtues of double handed sticks, I've taken the plunge and have an 11' 7wt switch headed my way. I have a couple places in mind where I intend to put it to use, including of course the tidal potomac area, but apart from a couple bits and pieces I've cobbled together from searching the forum archives, I'm wandering if folks have some good recommendations for rivers in the mid-Atlantic (day-trip or weekend-trip from DC) where they've particularly enjoyed having a DH rod on hand - namely for trout and smallmouth. I look forward to trying it out on parts of the NB Potomac, but would love other recommendations based on your experiences.

Thanks,
Bruce
