Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} NW Branch delayed harvest trout area

I also live very close to the NW branch in Wheaton. I believe the stream is governed by simple put and take regulations with a limited closure for a week in March at the start of stocking season. But maybe the regs are changing for this year.

In my experience over the past 2 years, it gets fished out pretty quickly after stocking. And there are definitely no holdovers, the water gets too warm in the summer for trout to survive.

I've assisted Chris Campo with derbies on the Anacostia itself, and it is much cleaner than I expected. I know he fishes for snakehead there from a kayak. 

Andrew Reichardt did a podcast and video on snakehead fishing there as part of the Seven Fisheries in Seven Days project.  

Here's more info on fishing the Anacostia from the River Keeper site: https://www.anacostiariverkeeper.org/programs/recreation-and-access/

I can't wait for the AWRP to turn this around with our support. Shad runs above and below DC!!!

Best,

honestly the Anacostia system could be an amazing fishery with a little water quality improvement.

yea, can't imagine any holdovers but the fact that they thought it was worthwhile to do it is pretty interesting/encouraging. Now if only they could clear out some of the obstacles to shad passage and take out the Burnt Mills dam...

Yes, it shows on the DNR Trout stocking map that it was stocked 4/22.

Pretty much in my back yard. Never knew.

Just saw a posting from 2022 while walking along the NW branch about a delayed harvest put-and-take trout area/no fishing zone-has anyone else heard about or seen this?
