NW Quantico fishing

[Daniel Mildbrand]

After booking rob Snowhite for some great education I took what I learned to NW quantico and fished Upshur Pond and Cedar Run. I imagine most people pass on fishing these two bodies of water since they are not easy to access but I was rewarded with almost constant action at both locations. Upshur pond resulted in several LMB, mostly 8-10 inches and several nice bluegills. Action was hot with a strike or a hook up on nearly every cast. I fished a custom tied popper with a San Juan worm dropper. Requires waders as there is too much shore cover to fish from land. A couple days later I went to cedar run, also by the camp Upshur area, and was rewarded by a good time on big Fall Fish up to maybe 14 inches. And they were very aggressive. Same flies as I used at the pond. Sometimes I hooked up on doubles. Water was low, maybe 30 inches was the deepest I found. But steady action again. With lots of bluegills mixed in. I’m looking forward to getting some
Orders to this area and living here. I’ll be a regular at the beer ties for sure.
