Thanks Paul. Unfortunately I don't carry the camera when I'm wading, I have a hard enough time not losing my sunglasses every time I go out. I also forgot to mention it's the Sports Authority in Sterling. I've browsed the forums a little bit but I'm mainly on the articles now. It's a little bit of an information overload coming to the reality of how much I really don't know. :-X

Hey guys I just found this forum and I am enjoying all of the information. I just wanted to to let some of the posters that are looking for a place to wade the Potomac that I've always had great luck at Riverbend Park. I've never really had that much luck from Algonkian but I am always shorebound. Once you get into Riverbend walk downstream about 50 or so yards and there are a bunch of rocks about a 1/4 of the way out that I wade to and fish from. Never been skunked and have caught some smallies up to 2.5 or 3 lbs. Also if anybody is looking for some new gear the Sports Authority is selling some reels for a discounted rate and then an additional 30 percent off. I just picked up either last years or 2 years ago Shimano Stradic 2500 for 70 bucks. I'm in love with it. Sticker price was 120 then the manager marked it down to 99 something and marked it down an additional 30 percent from that. They have a ton of 1500 and 2500 Saharas that are about 30 bucks now after the markdown. They are not displayed and are in a back room on the left of the fishing dept. If the manager Joel is there ask for him, if not anyone with a key at the front counter should be able to help you. I am heading out to the Shenandoah right off of Route 7 this weekend to wade. I'll let everyone know how it is. My buddy and I went for about 6 hours last Sat. and it was a little slower than normal. My biggest was almost 2 lbs. with about another 20 dinks added in. We went about 3 weeks earlier for another 6 hours and it was unreal. I caught one that was about 3.5, a couple near 3, and about 20 or so anywhere between 1 and 2 lbs, with another 20 or 30 dinks. It was an amazing time considering we only wade an area of about 100 to 150 yards. Wish me luck.
