What are some great day trips for trout from DC in Virginia?

Any pointers appreciated.  Have a great Christmas and New Years.

Disclaimer: Personal Opinion. Others likely to disagree. 

Dry River, Mossy Creek, Beaver Creek in VA. Gunpowder and Beaver Creek in MD. Ultimately, I think the best winter trout fishing close to DC though is south central PA (big spring, letort, falling springs, etc). Basically, I'd suggest focusing on thermally stable waters like tailwaters or spring creeks this time of year. 

Good luck!

This is basically what I would agree with as well.

I fished Beaver Creek in VA on Monday.  Water is low but fishing well.  You fo have to go to Grocery 257 early to get one of the 4 daily permits.  It is a 2 1/2 hr drive from Woodbridge, VA

I'd also throw Passage Creek in there.  Quick trip from Northern VA.

Here’s a piece I recently wrote for DWR on Passage Creek that may be of interest…

Great article on Passage Creek, was ready to go 2 paragraphs in.  Assuming no cherry trees there.  Thanks for the article.

Awesome read.  Didn't know about the closure of the delayed harvest area.  Hopefully that will reopen soon.

Hi, Peter, 

One good, general resource for DC-area day trips is the NVATU Trout Guide, available here:

Anyone have updates on the Gunpowder trip?  Making sure I get my spot!
