Rains and the Potomac

[Barracuda]

Does anyone know how much the recent rain has affected the Potomac (from Chain Bridge to Fletchers)? Or rather, whether the river is likely to be too muddy to fish Fri-Sat-Sun?

Fished it this morning from 6:00-9:00.    Looked fine - not too high, and clear enough to fish.

That said, I got skunked, and not many of the boats around us seemed to be catching much either.

I was skunked on the fly rod last night. We had some success with darts on the spin gear - perch, herring, and a couple of hickories. The water felt very cold, maybe the temp drop made an impression. But there was a huge surge of bait fish activity right at dusk in the cove itself. Fish rising everywhere for about 20 minutes, then it just died out suddenly right at dusk. was cool.

I got out for a bit yesterday afternoon and didn't do great. A couple hickories was all. Nowhere near what it was like a couple of weeks ago.

Also, have the hickories been running small for everyone else this year? I caught one huge one in March but other than that the biggest ones from this have been what I would consider average for the last couple years.

We're catching loads of fish right now. Perch are taking the flies before the shad.

I actually thought the opposite. It seemed like everything was running bigger this year. Some smaller hickories in the mix, but lots of big ones too. Though I have spent a lot more time in the boat this near and next to no time on shore.

It was murky and high today
Not much fish landed today
