{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: 1st time in the Tidal Basin

Don't feel bad.  I went out last evening...under the small bridge that leads to the Pentagon harbor from about 1800-1930.  Tried surface bugs and some streamer work and not even a bite.  Did see plenty of fish chasing and eating things (either on the surface or chased there)....but nothing bit at any of my presentations.
 
I then rode my bike over to FDR and fished that area (about 1945 until 2100).  Very little to no surface action. Again tried surface bugs and a few streamers.  Not a thing. 
 
It was pretty windy with that strong push from the South, that made casting fun at times. 
 
It was a beautiful bike ride back to the hill though, and nothing beats just getting out and fishing (even without the fish part).
 
From the old hands out here....is this normal?
 
Cheers

So today I spent the afternoon by the George Mason Memorial. 1 big bite that took the fly & nothing else on minnows & a black woolly bugger. I ended up spending most of my time untying knots I created by bad casts into the wind. Any good beginner fly casting tips that will keep me from getting all tangled up?
