Has anyone fished the Colonial Beach area on the Potomac?  Heading out there this weekend with a friend and am looking for some info. Thanks in advance

Hi Eric,

Brian Hepler here…

I have fishing friends and relatives in the Cobb Island area - which is  just south  of Colonial Beach - on the Maryland side of the Potomac. 

I have fly-fished the Colonial Beach and surrounding areas quite a bit over the years.

Below is a pic of me, with a nice fall bass that I was able to tease off of an old oyster bar, in about 15 to 20 feet of water. 

You can call or text me at 571-289-5892.

Best,
Brian

Brian, 

Nice work! That is an amazing fish. What line were you throwing when targeting fish in 15-20 feet? I have a tough time getting my fly down to those depths, even when using a tungsten tip. 

Slightly off topic, any recommendations for an inshore light tackle/fly captain in the chincoteague area? Taking a family vacation down that way in late September and would love to set something up. Thank you in advance!
