Hey Anthony, welcome to the club, prospectively! Definitely make sure to attend the Beer Ties to meet the other trout bums in the area! There are a surprising number of us. This group is organized around the thought of "fish where you are," and that means the Potomac and its tributaries. In the Potomac itself you have smallmouth bass, stripers, and an epic shad run in the spring. Travelling about an hour is required to hit the nearest wild trout water, and I dare say the fish will be smaller on average than in SW CO, but the environs have their own unique appeal, as do the fish. You mentioned VA but don't overlook MD. If you're thinking of fishing the Potomac, you could definitely get away with a 6 weight, if you need another arrow in your quiver. I personally carry a 3, 5, 6, and 8 weight and that covers about everything I need. If you had to have one rod, a fast action 5 weight would do about 95% of the job. Looking forward to meeting you, and don't hesitate to start contributing to the forum anytime the mood strikes.
