Tied a tandem rig olive and white and chartreuse and white and kept catching two 20 inches at a time. Happened 4 tunes then switched to a single clouser landed about 35 upwards of 24 inches!
Get out there boys

I will have to try that this weekend when I'm there. Let me pick you brain for a moment, I am constantly getting my fly caught on the rocks at the bridge. I know this happens but I would like this not to happen on 4 out of every 5 casts. I dont know if the whole river is this rocky or if it is mainly this area. I have been setting up just up stream of the bridge or at the bridge, I am going to try a little farther down stream to see if it gets any better, Any other suggestions would be appreciated.

Aaron,
The water under Chainbridge is a high risk/high reward fishery. The
rocks, eddies, and undercurrent makes it a perfect haven for stripers,
bass, snakeheads, etc.
If you are getting caught in the rocks, you are in the strike zone.
With that being said, I have had more luck avoiding snags casting from
a Fletcher's rental boat than from the banks....

Last month I brought single rod and two-hands rod. I tried both rods as
test. Yes single rod line caught rocks sometime. Two-hands rod with Skagit
line is the best for this area. I fished at little down steam mostly. Up
steam or near/under bridge is full with spin fishermen!
