I stopped in at Fletcher's Cove on the Potomac on Saturday afternoon. The river was a bit high and muddy, but there were some bait slingers pulling in a few modest catfish. According to the folks at the concession stand, one hickory was caught last week.
I saw some other hopeful shad fishermen take a look at the water then leave due to conditions. If it were mid-April, we'd probably be trying anyway.
I bought my license, so I got that little chore out of the way. Gotta love $13 for a non-resident.
Soon.
