Anyone interested in floating a local river/creek on Monday morning?
I have a canoe for your use but you will need to transport it yourself.
Any suggestions on where to go (assuming rivers are behaving)?

I will keep checking back to see if this takes off. If nothing else happens, my default will be hitting LHC/D creeks in Alexandria. They are usually (emphasis added to usually) pretty calm, especially D. D was very high and muddy last weekend (duh . . .). There were a lot of snakehead sightings, with no results unfortunately.

The annual Memorial Day float is what got me into kayaking. Wish I could join you somewhere, but we're attending our grandson's HS graduation in Tennessee.
Just like fishing, only different.

So far, Ernie, Herman, Andrew, Greg and maybe Il Duce.
Where do you guys want to go?
Wanna float Lander to POR?
Or just go to Algonkian and paddle/peddle aground?
Offline
Sorry, Ernie. I have to help parents with something monday They just asked me last night. I'll let you know if I can some how free up monday.

Tyler may be in as well.
Algonkian means we have to paddle BACK upstream. I remember that from a couple years ago...yuck in my slow 10' Tarpon. I have never fished Lander to POR. So, that is my vote.
Offline
Herman proposed that if the Potomac is still running high, we could take the kayaks to Lake Frederick or Occoquan Reservoir.
Personally, I prefer to stay local so we can get home for afternoon festivities.
Offline
Definitely understand taking into account how high the Potomac is running. What about doing one of the creeks off the potomac (Mattawoman, Kanes, etc)? Just an idea.
Offline
Kane's is a looooooooooooooooooooooooong paddle/peddle. Mattawoman is an hour away....
POR is at 5.7 right now and will be at 4 something on Monday AM.
Someone needs to give us a visual....
Offline
Ashburn Lake is REALLY close!

I just looked at Algonkian....water is high and fast and discolored. I will look at it again tomorrow o see if settles down a bit.
Offline
Really, anywhere is fine with me. I just want to get out fishing anywhere. I will follow your lead. I won't be around this weekend until Sunday night.
Offline
POR will be at 3.9-4 on Monday AM....is that doable?
Offline
I am going out of Algonkian tomorrow in my jon. I would think that level is ok and I will post my results.

I was on tidal Potomac yesterday (Occoquan River, Belmont Bay over to Gunston Cove and Pohick Bay) Water was quite stained. On the plus side, not much debris. River levels are dropping so looking forward to upper river reports. I'd like to join this float if conditions improve...

I am in

I went up to Goose Creek and fished the creek. It was in decent shape (green with a stain). I fished back in the river and it ranged from green stained to muddy. Upriver should be better. Fishing was much better in the creek. I only caught 3 small SM in the river. Two just drifting with a tube and one on a rebel wee crayfish. Nice day but got warm and was getting crowded. Definitely not "on fire".

Unfortunately, I need to drop out for tomorrow. There should be enough interest to get something done somewhere.
