New to DC Area

Hey guys. Looking for some ideas and locations to get my flyline wet
around here. Any areas that are fairly easy to get to and fish from
shore or wading?

I spent the summer in dc. The shennandoahs are awesome for brookies.
pretty browns in the gunpowder. In immeadiate vicinity nice smallies
etc. below the first dam on the potomac in pocke****er- additionally a
very nice area to get out of the hustle and bustle of dc, and so
close!!

I just read about a stream in western Maryland in Eastern Fly Fishing
Magazine that sounded quite good. You can even hike in and camp on the
stream, parts of it are so remote. It was in either the current or
previous issue of the magazine.

Of course, the Rapidan is the most famous area trout stream, having
hosted many a president angler.

I think you're refering to the Savage River, MD. July/August 2007
Edition.

Okay, I may be in Nebraska, but I moved here from Maryland.
Go to Bass Pro up by BWI and talk to the folks in there about local
fishing. The guy (Larry Coburn) that runs the place (the fly shop)
litterally wrote the book on fly fishing in Maryland. His book, Guide
to Maryland Trout Fishing: The Catch- And -Release Streams, will give
you enough info to play with new waters every weekend for 5 years. And
thats only the streams with naturally reproducing populations.
Also, there's tons of water around you in DC. You can fish for
bucketmouth bass on the Potomac from the Mall, go upstream to Harpers
Ferry and you're in smallie heaven, further upstream and you're into
huge browns. Head over by the bridge to the Eastern Shore and you can
fly fish for stripers from the bank. Oh, and if you're up to a bit of
brush busting, the most southern population of native Maryland
brookies can be found near Millersville, MD.
Look up the Free State Fly Fishers. Great group.
Feel free to contact me if you are looking for some more info (except
for the location of those secret brookies).
