Occasionally fish might get trapped after a high flow, but in general those backwater areas don't really have anything worth fishing for. If you can't make it down by the helipad then the best spot in that area is probably to walk straight back under chain bridge until you reach the Potomac. Or just fish the canal once it has some water.

After 25 years of living a mile away, I finally walked down the ramp at Chain Bridge and made my way North along the Canal, down a path, to a helipad overlooking the Potomac river. Unfortunately, it was too steep and rocky for me to make my way down to the river -- a big disappointment. But I did pass several tributaries -- I guess, really spill-overs -- on my way. Do they contain fish? And if so, how would you fish them?
Also, can anyone suggest paths to the river off Chain Bridge that I might actually be able to navigate? I found one close to the light at Chain Bridge that led to a nice little pool with a sandy bottom, but it was upstream from the actual river.
Thanks. Lisa
