Summer Fishing on Upper Potomac Above Dargan

Type: Nontidal
Region: Western
Location: Upper Potomac River

We were out last week , Thursday evening, and got a nice smallie above Dargan. It hit a black buzz bait around 8:30. My friend, Pat O�toole and I fish each week, usually on Friday. We have been questioning the absence of sunfish this year. One of our favorite baits is the small senko on a 1/8 or 1/16 jig head. This gives us plenty of action and we seem to get just as many keeper bass. Last year we caught 30 to 50 sunfish a day and this year 3 or 5 seems to be all we can get. Tomorrow we will fish Later. Last July 24 we caught 53 sunfish. WE shall see how it goes Today (Friday).

"every fishing trip is a kind of voyage of discovery into that mysterious "other" world, and every catch is a kind of message from the "deep". (Mark Hoff)
