All RSS Feeds Fish Lines By Gary Diamond Special to The Washington Post Friday, August 12, 2005; Page WE47 Fish Lines What's the Catch? TIDAL POTOMAC RIVER UPPER POTOMAC RIVER The river is low, some segments are a muddy green from algae blooms and nutrient overload, and overall, smallmouth bass fishing was slow. Several anglers fishing traditional smallmouth hotspots at Whites Ferry, Edwards Ferry, Lander, Point of Rocks, Brunswick and Dam No. 4 said catches consisted mainly of fish measuring five to seven inches, and very few of them. SUSQUEHANNA RIVER (PA.) Scattered catches of smallmouth bass were made by casting tiny leadheads trimmed with one-inch chartreuse twister tails and live minnows in Conowingo Lake's upper reaches. Most fish were found at the mouth of Muddy Creek upstream to Holtwood Dam, and the majority were taken after sunrise and before sundown. Lots of channel catfish in the same vicinity, most weighing one to three pounds. Bottom-fished night crawlers lured larger catfish and fair numbers of fat bluegill. Maryland TRIADELPHIA AND ROCKY GORGE RESERVOIRS It was a relatively quiet week at both impoundments, with catches consisting mainly of white perch, sunfish, channel catfish and an occasional bass. A week or two of cooler, drier weather would go a long way to improve fishing conditions. | |
