Well, I fished there yesterday. Caught 1, 10" bow, 1, 12" brown, and 2, tiny brookies. Real exiting HUH!!! Here is the deal. This place has the potential to be a terrific little tailwater except the core of so called engineers fiddle f&$#* with the releases so much that the fish dont know where to settle. Or should I say hold and get comfortable. I have never seen anything like it! The water temps are always cold. Yesterday, 15.5C/59.9F. I have fished this place for 15 years and have never seen the temps go above 63f. Also, the release yesterday was 111cfs for most of the day, and it had been fluctuating right around there for about a week. That is why I decided to take a crack at it. Before the rains came yesterday, the core decided to dump water. So they cranked it up a bit. Then the shat hit the fan with a horrendous storm in the afternoon and they decided to open the flood gates and dump 1,010. Trust me. that is a s%^# load of water coming down that stream. So, here is my beef. Like I said, the potential of this place is astounding. The aquatic insect life is as good, if not better, than ANY of the so called good fishing creeks in the commonwealth. The water is ALWAYS clear because it is a bottom release tailwater and the state "know it all's" stock it for the bait and spin guys to creel up all those hatchery monsters even before the bugs show up. Question: why does the usgs have to operate this Beltsville resevior like it is some kind of immenent danger of a huge flood or drought at any given moment? This resourse is abused! More thought should be given to the potential for this place ,period. MY 2 cents.
