Occaquan this morning....

[peter odell]

hit it with my kayak for 2.5 hours this morning.  Lots of fish being caught, especially by the spinning guys in boats, water near the upper bridge a little gunky from the windstorm.  Lots of big hickories, did not have a tape, but I would guess 19-21, and several very hefty with eggs.

Fly fishing a little slower, I got around 10 to the boat and lost a few.  Little windy around 10am onward.

Is the water there calm enough for an old guy in a canoe?

Thanks

Art

Is one allowed to keep hickory shad caught in the occoquan? My buddy wants 1 or 2 for catfish bait. I'm having trouble finding the regulations for this on the internet.

According to the Nova fishing page on fb yes you can keep hickory. The specific wording was posted to that forum last week. Why someone would want to keep a hickory shad is beyond me but it is allowed.
