4MR: Glebe to Mount Vernon?

[BigtimeBG]

I have fished 4MR a ton but I've always parked at Mount Vernon and worked my way downstream. I oddly just never really considered going upstream. I was just along the path yesterday and there looked like a few holes in that stretch... though I couldn't tell if that was because the water was up from the rains.

Anyone ever had any luck above Mount Vernon Ave. at 4MR??

Look for a area flood advisory when its been dry for a few days. You will find clear water pushed way up into the creek. People have caught snakeheads all the way up and across from Giant. You'll find bullhead catfish above the fall line. Look for deep pockets where fish feel safe. Wear your waders and be up on your tetanus shot.

Ha yeah looks dicey in spots above the dams in particular. If there is a chance to walk up in waders from Mount Vernon and fish some of those pockets then I'll probably do that and not much more! Thanks for the advice.

I run along that section and have never seen much that would entice me to fish there.  It looks relatively fishy but all I have seen was a catfish and a few smallish bait sized fish.
