Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Late Summer Stripers?

Tide timing. You want to fish gravelly on an outgoing tide, particularly early morning or late evening when stripers are most active. An outgoing tide makes the current rush through the bridge, sweeping baitfish though, and is a feeding station for the predators.

Thanks Rob. Just out of curiosity, why next week? Simply later in the month?

I discovered shad fly fishing on the Potomac this spring which was a blessing for someone brought up trout fishing. I have heard Striper fishing is also possible on the Potomac but I was wondering if its hopeless this time of year for a newbie trying to catch the rockfish. Does anyone have any advice as to whether Stripers can be caught in the Chain Bridge area this time of year? What recommendations would you have in terms of gear and approach? Thanks for any ideas. I'm trying to become a real Potomac Fly Rodder ;)
