Does the Potomac River have good bass fishing?

Posted by : admin

I’m talking freshwater largemouth and smallmouth bass, just west of DC. Also, is any spot on the river fishable, or do some areas not have good fishing?
also, do the bass in the potomac make for good eating?

does a bear poop in the woods?
the potomac has excellent bass fishing. from tidewater all the way up to it’s headwaters. probably better eating further up stream.

almost everywhere on the river holds good fish. they feed by the tides in the lower reaches and just like any other river bass further up stream.
and as previously mentioned, many bass tournaments are held in the river yearly.

    Yes, it is one of the best rivers in North America for large and smallmouth bass fishing. You want to fish areas with vegataion or like sukken trees and points where the depth changes.

    It should have good bass fishing because BASS and FLW hold top level tournaments there all the time. I guess if you ask some locals they could give you the inside dope on where the fish are.

    Yes, it has great fishing. It also is full of northern snakehead, a toothy species that kills all other fish, and they are unwanted.
    All bass are good eating.
