Hey everyone,
I recently moved from Alexandria to Burke, which puts me about an 8 minute drive from Accotink Creek. I've been there a couple times over the last month (probably a half dozen times total over the last couple years) without any luck. Now I'm the first to admit I'm not a very good trout fisherman - I have a lot more practice fishing for Bass. I park at the Wakefield Rec Center off Braddock Rd, walk down the mountain-bike trail to the stream and fish my way north. I usually stick with an olive bugger, but I've tried san juan works and pheasant tail nymphs over there too. I mostly fish the deeper pools where there's a bend in the creek - basically anywhere that I can't see the bottom.
Has anyone had luck there recently? Should I try fishing further north on the creek near or above Little River Turnpike? Or maybe south of Braddock Rd - I haven't ventured that way either.
I'm sure the answer is "they're right under your feet - you just have to learn how to catch them," but if anyone wanted to point me in the right direction I would appreciate it! This place is so close to my house - I really want to learn how to fish it.
Thanks
Paul
