Thanks Rob, I was actually listening to your podcast on fishing the tidal basin just yesterday. Good stuff in there. Thanks for the info!

Do not neglect the tidal basin. Incoming tide at Ohio Drive bridge and along shire from FDR to MLK
Sent from my iPhoneHi Jeff - I've never had success fly fishing for carp thought I haven't tried in some time. I recognize that it's a whole new approach I haven't learned about yet. I think it would be awesome to find a snakehead. When I was initially reading through your forums and site, I was blown away at the site of the thing! Pretty vicious looking creature. Maybe I'll get lucky! Thanks--

If you see one hanging out, use some heavier tippet. They'll bite through light stuff pretty easily. Another thing to keep an eye out for in that seciont is carp feeding against the bank. There are some giant carp in that section, and they will put up one heck of a fight. There's a bunch of grass choking up a lot of the Georgetown section this time of year, so you have a chance at finding the carp along the edges there too.On Fri, Sep 11, 2015 at 10:23 AM, 'Lane Thurgood' via Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders <tidal-potoma...@googlegroups.com > wrote:You absolutely will not want or need to wade the C&O. After work last night, I hit the C&O in my work clothes, changing only my shoes, but sometimes I don't even do that. I used a 6-weight, started with a small yellow popper, took a few bluegill and redbreasts on that, then put on a size 4 olive klawdad and took a few sub-12" bass. I then saw a thick catfish I'd estimate at 6 lbs or so cruising around. It took me a few pitches to get the placement just right as he was rooting around, but he took that klawdad just fine. I tried to keep him out of cover but was unsuccessful. Pop goes the 10 lb leader.--All this in about 45 minutes to an hour.Where you are talking near Georgetown, the Potomac is NOT wadeable. You're several miles too low. But the C&O should provide you some action.

You can walk across Key Bridge into Georgetown and jump on the C&O Canal, probably heading upriver. You should find plenty of action. Small poppers would work, but so would attractor nymphs, buggers and most anything else. You can get a DC fishing license online.
