This weekend I (finally) don't have to work, go out of town, or have prior obligations so I'm going to go fish the Tidal Basin. It's my fist time fishing the TB soooooo any advice? Flies, spots, whats biting now, etc?

Don't go Friday.  Big crowds.

Ahh really? That's when I wanted to go.  Even in the morning? I was afraid someone was going to say don't do Friday.

Heads up about road closures. Watch out for gapers on your back cast.

I'm in the same boat.  Was thinking about Gravelly Point Park or 4 mile run...staying away from the crowds.  Never fished either before (not new to fly-fishing...just new to it in this area). 
 
No luck fishing the South Fork/Lurray last weekend camping on hellgrammite patterns or surface poppers, but did pull some decent plate size Bluegill and a few bass from Lake Arrowhead with surface poppers (wading from shore).   
 
Cheers
Collin on Cap Hill.

Saw a beautiful juvenile snakehead in the pickerel weed at four mile today and a monster at the rte 1 bridge. Now that the other bridge is gone there is a clean bank to cast from. 

We fished 4 Mile with out much luck today. 

Here is the outflow x river water
