You will be here during the heart of the prime DC season as the shad run should be around peak during that time. While you could certainly use you spey rod, if you have just a couple hours you should go to fletchers boathouse and rent a boat ($30 for the day). Use your single handed seven weight with the heaviest sinking line you have (full sinking is ideal). Anchor up on a seam and fish away.

I know... first post and asking for info. Shame! :p
I live in WA state near Seattle and will be taking the family on a U.S. history tour of Boston, NYC, Philly, and DC in a couple weeks. As an addict, I of course think of any opportunity available to sneak in some fly fishing.
I'm a bit clueless to that area, but from what I gather I should be able to target shad and maybe bass during my visit. Would it be worth bringing my 7wt spey rod, or is that overkill for the shad? I could bring a 7 or 6wt single handed rod instead. I'll bring a variety of floating and sink tips (love my Rio Versitip!).
Also, would anyone be willing to show me the fishery for a few hours? I would be willing to return the favor if you ever come to my state to fish!
