Capitol Grass Is Growing And Fishing Is Good
The Potomac River near Washington, D.C. is one of the most prolific bass fisheries in the country. It's not a toad factory like some southern or western hotspots – it's a place where an angler can go and have the time of his or her life catching wads of hard-fighting 2- and 3-pound bass.And what makes the river especially fun is that anglers can leave the spinning rods at home. This tidal fishery is a power-fishing dream: Acres of wood, grass and targets offer a flipping, frogging and ChatterBaiting paradise.
The FLW Tour visits the Potomac this week for its second FLW Tour Open of the season, and the Tour arrives at a good time. The fish have spawned, and although word says they're not ganged up in the grass as well as they'd be perhaps a few weeks from now, the bite's strong and it'll probably take the proven 16 to 17 pounds a day to win.
Note that since the event is a Tour Open, points don't count toward the FLW Tour Angler of the Year race or 2011 Forrest Wood Cup qualification. After the fourth and final Tour Open this fall, the Top 5 in the Open points receive a berth in the 2012 Forrest Wood Cup.
The Open designation also means the field is open, thus several locals are fishing the event, as well as Elite Series pros like Bobby Lane, Aaron Martens, Mike Iaconelli and Fred Roumbanis. The Elite pros will have to hightail it out of town to make the Arkansas River Elite Series event, practice for which begins next Monday.
Before more about the current state of the bite, here's some info about the fishery itself.
