| Headed upstream on the Potomac |
Lucky doesn't do justice to how fortunate I've been this Winter and Spring to have continued fishing with neighbor and bass-boat owner Matt.
 |
| Mount Vernon is about 2/3 of the way to DC from our Put-in in Leesylvania State Park |
Its been thrilling to cruise at +40 mph to DC from Leesburg State Park to fish the warm water discharge at Blue Plains. With the water warming now I'll be more and more back to my old haunts but also look forward to refining my bucket-mouth skills in the Potomac with Matt.

| they're amazing on the fly! |
Fritz and I found the Rappahanock thick with Shad on our first recon trip 28 March to our normal haunt in the fall-line. In subsequent trips I enjoyed smiles on Jacob and James' mugs as well as they fought the feisty shad...what amazing fish.

Trying my best to mimic the 1.25" silver shad spoon I put the Davis' fly tying desk to good use developing a fast sinking silver shad dart.
