Brad, there are plenty of people on here who fish the Potomac with 5-weight rods. I personally prefer using an 8-weight, but that's a matter of preference. I like tying and fishing big flies and that's easier to do with a heavier rod.
What it comes down to is fish with what you have. Don't let the fact that you only have a 4- and a 5-weight rod stop you from trying new places.
Also, if you're going to be right there, it's probably worth putting a line in at the Tidal Basin, as long as there aren't too many tourists around. For that, fish along the walls and under the trees.
Good luck and let us know how you do!

Hi I'm a beginner and have been fishing out in Virginia and up at the Gunpowder this summer. It's been a lot of fun. Thanks to all of you on here who have helped me get started. I'm thinking of trying out the Potomac this weekend and am wondering what rod weight is recommended. I have 4 and 5 weight rods and wonder if I need something heavier before giving the Potomac a try. Location-wise I was thinking of around where the Potomac meets the tidal basin. Any other line type / gear recommendations would be great. I'm planning on using clouser's. Thanks for all of your help. -Brad--
