Hi guys - I’ve been on the road for a couple of weeks and wondering if striper are in the system and being caught in dc (at fletchers or near dca etc). Thanks in advance for any updates!

The Potomac has been dirty as shit. You haven’t missed a thing.

Copy that. Thanks! If/as it clears up there should be schoolie stripers around, right?

Should be. River looked pretty good when I drove over it this morning. Anyone know if fletchers will be renting boats today? River is just over 5 and dropping.

Lots of current still and off color but we managed a dozen or so schoolies this morning. With the stronger current the fish have been tucked in close to the VA shoreline in what little slack water they can find. They should cooperate and hit a fly since they’re not in a lot of current. We were using small jigs in natural and white colors.
