{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Addicted to trout and it's hella cold; what are my best options?

Rapidan was in a good mood on Saturday afternoon.  Everyone else I ran in to along the trail said they had a decent day as well.

I simply must go fishing for trout somewhere within the 1.5 hour drive range this weekend. 

I'm considering fishing passage creek in VA. I know it's a stocker stream, but I checked it out last weekend for the first time (while hiking), and it looks pretty fun and challenging. I figure the cold might keep away the bait chuckers/poachers. It was stocked in mid-December and on January 6. But it's not stream fed, as far as I can tell. Plus, it was running pretty high and dark last weekend, even though there hadn't been much rain, so I'm worried it might be blown out this weekend.

Or, I might just hit up my usual haunt, Beaver Creek, MD. 

Given the cold, could you guys suggest some good, not-too-far-away options? I'm thinking I'm mainly going to be fishing tandem, sub-surface rigs: a small midge below and slightly larger beadhead nymph. 

Maybe the Gunpowder will be fishing well, although I imagine Beaver Creek, MD will be fishing better.
