Accotink Creek

Where:

Accotink Creek - next to I-495 aka "The Beltway"

For

Rainbow Trout

What We Caught

Nothing. Boooooo. It was still great to get out and go fishing - even with the big rigs blasting by.

What We Learned

• People stare at you on the metro when you have fly gear.
• Delayed Harvest is an interesting theory. The jury is still out.
  
• When the construction is all done, the park will be a very nice to escape for a few hours. Here is an shot from a little ways upstream.
  

This access path doesn't look like much, but the park will be very nice with the construction is done.

Fishing Report

Where:

Conway River - near Shenandoah National Park (VA)

For

Brook and Brown Trout

What We Caught

A few nice Brook Trout

What We Learned

• There is not a lot of access to the Conway. It is a nice little stream and was beautiful on a fall day - but next time we may choose to go to other streams in the area due to the access problem.

• The brookies were attacking dry flys as well as the nymphs. There was very little insect activity so this was a little surprising.

Time to start Tying

I decided I would start paying triple for my flies and started tying again. Any requests?
