The August storm of this year locally dropped up to 6" of rain within an hour. The only 2018 storms that would have had similar effects 4MR with that much flow would have been the second Saturday in July with over 4" locally (the water nearly took out the historic Occoquan foot bridge) and the micro burst that flooded Alexandria a week before https://dcist.com/story/19/07/08/todays-rainfall-broke-a-148-year-record/
I do miss the deep holes on the Arlington shore that were filled in after the shoreline was cleared of trees.

That's interesting because wouldn't the deluge of rain in 2018 be more of an issue than this summer where we had that drought? I was down there a month ago or so and didn't have any luck but I also timed it poorly and there was barely any water. I have seen on Instagram people catching decent fish there still, mostly spin anglers. I don't go there as much but I used to have more success in numbers before they ripped out all the bushes on the Arlington side in front of the water plant. In terms of super local water, Rock Creek has been most productive for me of late.
