My girlfriend had a bunch of miles to run on the C&O Sunday morning, so I tagged along half asleep.  Rented a boat at Fletchers for the first time since the shad and the fishing was pretty slow.  I grabbed a small smallie on a popper at the rocks, but then nothing for the next hour.  I may have hooked into the gamiest rock in the Potomac, but upon setting the hook, my line snapped.  If anybody else is targeting submerged rocks, I was using a large, olive ultra suede crayfish pattern...

I did manage this decent smallmouth on an olive and orange clouser.  I dropped the fly next to a submerged palette along the mudbank just downstream from the cove and immediately saw a flash and missed the hit.  I must have pulled the fly 20 feet through the water on the set, but the fish gunned it down for the take.  It was pretty neat.  Anyway, I really need to get a light boat so I can explore some other areas of the Potomac.

Good morning,

Looks like the Little Falls gage will be hovering just below 3.5' this weekend and was thinking about doing a little fishing.

Has there been any action in the vicinity of Chain Bridge (fish from shore) or Riverbend State Park (wade fish)?

Thanks,

Jim
