r OW about a few bass for din
ner? You can't buy them, so
| you'll have to go out and
n catch them-and catching
them. to most anglers, means a long
trip into Maryland or Virginia, start
ing early in the morning and getting
back late at night. The good old
Potomac River, flowing right by WASH
ington, has been sadly neglected, yet
you can reach fairly good fishing spots
in less than an hours drive from your
cfice.
No one claims that they are better
than those found along the Shenan-
doah, the Susquehanna or the Upper
Potomac. 1t is even stretching
point to compare them with the Pts
GATEWAY or Gunston Cove, but fish are
there, fish have been caught and fish
will continue to be caught there.
Black bass have begun to
strike along the Potomac, as
they have everywhere else, and
the good part about it is that
they are all small mouths.
ttBetween Chain Bridge and Key
Bridge on the east side of the river
Is Capt. Joe Fletcher's place. Capt.
Joe is as much a part of the river
and as well known to anglers as are
the Three Sisters Islands. 1t just
wouldn't be the Potomac without his
little red rowboats tied up at the dock
or nosing around by the rocks. They're
o sort of a trade mark; they prove
that 1t is the real article. not some
other river suddenly set down there
beneath the Virginia Palisades.
Capt. Joe Knows River.
IF ANY ONE knows anything about
= river fishing it's Capt. Joe. In the
Spring, when big rock are running,
he can direct you to the exact spot
where they are found. He can take
one look at the river and tell whether
or not the fish are biting, and If he
Aays they are not biting you might
as well stay in. You won't get any
thing.
Along about last Thursday he
figured bass should be striking
on artificial, 80 he went out and
caught six small-m0uths to
prove he was right.
Six fighting small-mouths is q nice
catch for any one to bring back, espe-
cially when taken from q cloudy river.
It wasn't one Of those sales-promotion
catches either. He didn't do it so
that anglers would rush down and
hire his boats when they heard about
