{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Any action on the Potomac?

Fished the Potomac at Carderock, Lock 8 and Lock 6 yesterday. C&O looked nasty or non-existent so didn't drop a line there. The Potomac was fairly clear (Little Falls was at 3.4') and the water looked nice and fishy in all three locations. However, I caught only one fish. A smallie (12") at Lock 6 on a chartreuse clouser.  Good news is that I slipped on the rocks and fell only once while wet wading. No injuries. Shoulda' brought my wading boots/socks (was wearing my Keen sandles), a wading stick and my PFD (and maybe a helmet!). Several other close calls. First time fishing the Potomac above Chain Bridge. More challenging than I thought it would be. Perhaps I was fishing in the wrong areas? Plenty of evidence along the shores where I fished that I was not the first person to have fished there. 

Note: At one point I saw a guy standing out in the middle of the river and wondered how he got out there (I think I was at Lock 8) . Noticed later he was in a kayak shuttling between shallow areas to then get out and fish. Not sure if he caught anything. This was mid-morning yesterday (Saturday), was it anyone from TPFR?

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
