I fished above the Rt. 236  (Little River Turnpike) section couple of hours last Saturday.

Ended up three browines and six bows.

I'm surprised that not many people fish at Accotink Creek. Every time I was there I haven't seen anybody fish.

If you want some trout action, try it here almost every deep pool holds the fish.

Good stuff as usual, Todd.
 
For some of these delayed harvest streams, especially at lower elevations, won't the trout die in the summer?

Rex,

 

That's what everybody thinks.

But I have caught trout in late June at here.

Also, couple of weeks ago I was with Jeff (our member) and I hooked a brown trout that is nothing like hatchery fish,

the color was dark and spots on the body looked much bigger and colorful, the hook came off as I was trying to drag the fish out of the water.

May be holdover trout?

I'm going back there again soon.

i went last weekend (11/22) with my son, below 236. only caught
sunnies (and small ones at that). didn't give it a lot of time,
middle of the day, sunny, not the best for fishing. i've heard closer
to braddock road is good. is north of the 236 better? or is it
pretty much all pools, all the way? any go to flys? i can't
understand why more people wouldn't fish this stream, as close as it
is.

Todd,
Nice photos.  I normally fish south of 236 in Wakefield Park.  Are you saying you went north of Wakefield Park, towards Mill Creek Park?

I've seen hold over trout in the summer in 4 Mile Run @ the Rose park
on Clarendon blvd. in Arlington.

As for Accotink, I can't confirm trout sizes, but the bass are much
larger closer to Braddock road. The section adjacent upstream from
Braddock that is adjacent to the broad flood plain used by gardeners
to be specific.

Steve,

Take a look at this.

 

Accotink Creek Fairfax County

The delayed harvest section of Accotink Creek extends from King Arthur Road downstream 3.1 miles to Route 620 (Braddock Road). This stream section is bound by a Fairfax County Park Authority (FCPA) floodplain park that belies the stream's urban setting (the upper boundary is adjacent to the Capital Beltway). The stream contains numerous riffle-run-pool sequences with good holding pools, and it has an abundance of large woody debris. Primary access is via the FCPA Wakefield Park facility off BraddockRoad.

Thanks, Todd.  I'll try up there.  I usually park at the ball field. Is there parking at King Arther Rd?

I do like the woolies when fishing the creeks in the fall.

Thanks everyone for all the information. This is a great group!

Great report.  Do you wet wade or bank fish.  I walked around the 236 baseball park and it looked pretty deep.  Also saw a muskrat and three deer.

What fishing methods do you use and what flies are you using during the summer

You boys do realize this thread is three and a half years old, right?

In Internet time, that makes it an antique/classic.
