To answer Morgan's question about why Harpers Ferry is not the Fishery it used to be, my best guess is : First the area gets much more fishing pressure then it did 20 plus years go. And too many people are keeping the Smallmouth Bass they catch including poaching. Second assume the intersexing ( not sure if this the correct term ) is having an negative on the population, basically because of pollution there is a percentage of the Smallmouth Bass which are hermaphroditic.
I've been fishing Harpers Ferry since I was in High School . It was definitely a much more productive fishery when I was in High School and College ( University of Maryland ). Not just my experience, others fishing buddies of mine who grew up in this area.
And who have fishing Harpers Ferry as long as I have, if not longer would agree.
Vo
All good points. I will say the biggest fish I've caught this year on the potomac have all been on crawfish/hellgrammites.--Vo - why do you say Harpers Ferry is not the fishery it used to be back in the day?

Be sure to fish hellgrammites/black buggers.Sent from my iPhoneI'll second ALarge's book recommendation it's available not only softbound, but as a PDF you can keep on your phone/tablet. You might also wish to invest in this map, http://bit.ly/2fBzMWw too--. Personally I like fishing the Weverton sector downstream of the 340 bridge. Mark
