I typically use the one on the Orvis Fishing Reports site, you'll just need to add two hours as it's for Alexandria.--Scott

The airport high tide is exactly 8 minutes after the Alexandria high tide. The Chain Bridge high tide is exactly 27 minutes after the Alexandria high tide. Not 2 hours.

Only problem with that one is you can't go very far out into the future.

It obviously takes time for the tide to continue to flood into our area. As it does, the tide rushes in underneath the culvert into the duck pond (Roaches Run) at Gravelly Point.
At the end of the high tide there is a 1 hour slack tide where the tide does nothing. The tide is turning and will begin to ebb after that 1 hour.
Given the fact that most folks like to fish Gravelly a few hours after high tide when there is sufficient flow coming out of the duck pond, it make sense to tell people to fish Gravelly 2 hours after the Alexandria high tide which would make the fishing decent, but that doesn’t mean add 2 hours to the high tide to figure out when the high tide is up at the airport.
Make sense?

Good point Scott. And I'll add to that, keep the rod tip low - touching or just above the water as the fly swings down stream and through the current. Follow the swing with the rod tip too, trying to keep it pointed at the place the fly is swimming through. This will help keep slack in the line to an absolute minimum and you will feel and react to the strike much quicker.Oh, and welcome to the club and the forum Emily!Dan Davala

To add to what Dan said about fishing Gravelly on the outgoing tide, often the key to getting a strike is to mend your line after you cast to get the fly a little deeper in that fast water. Trent advised me of this long ago and it really makes a difference.--Scott

Generally, it is best to fish an outgoing tide at Gravelly approx. 1.5 hours after the listed High tide. That gives the tide time to peak, then begin to move back out. The flow out of the tunnel under the parkway will really start pumping after that, and it can last for quite a few hours. Get a Clouser Minnow or other "baitfish" pattern out into the current and hang on!

Thanks Dan! And to everyone else who responded... I'm new to both fishing and blogging but having fun so at some point I'll understand more than the ~25% I do now. Looking forward to 201 this Sunday!!
