Tidal Potomac River Raid

[Turtle135]

I know a VA license is good on the Potomac, but does that include the creeks in Maryland?

Regarding VA and MD Tributaries above the Route 301 bridge (I think that Mattawoman, Leesylvania, Occoquan all fall in that category).

If I am reading this correctly (see link below) it would appear a VA Fresh Water License would cover the Mattawoman all the way up to the 225 bridge (which looks like it would cover 99% of the Mattawoman)

I think I'm in depending on the date. Looking forward to coming out and meeting some of you all.

May 5th would be good for me.

OK, May 5th it is. Let's talk locations. I know Mattawoman has plenty of fish (and plenty of pressure). Lot's of places are going to be like that. I guess what I would like to find for us is an area that at low tide is a place that the bass boats can't or wont go. I know they are out there. Anyone know of any?

No.

Hey Hookup, are you sure?

It looks like from this that a Virginia Fresh Water License would cover pretty much all of the Mattawoman (as an example):



the "demarkation" line on the Mattawoman is the bridge on 225 up at the headwaters, so if I am reading this right everything I have inside the red line should be covered?

Unless they change the law recently, I found out the hard way

Jeff interested for sure and I have been fishing Occouquan reservoir at Fountainhead park heavily over the last 2 months and know the water well. You want to avoid dates where the Fountainhead Bass club does their one day tourneys. It would be a great place to do a kayak raid because only John Boats with 10hp or less can fish there. Mattawoman can be a nightmare on the weekends with the high speed bass boats blowing by you at full speed. Call me if you want to talk more about this location it is a great place I'll be out there this weekend and next Wed and or Thursday. Check out the totals they put up in this bass club 1 day events top 6 fish, pretty impressive.
