[VA][Aquia Creek] any chain pickerel?

[Hannock]

I normally target snakehead but I'm hearing some buzz around chain pickerel. Has anyone caught any in or around Aquia Creek? I think I caught a small one a loooong time ago at Abel Lake.

Hannock, there could be Chain Pickerel in the Potomac but I have never heard of anyone catching them.

This does not mean they are not in the main creek or up towards Aquia Harbor. It means I have never heard of anyone catching them in Aquia or the Potomac.

I would think Hope Springs Marina or Willow Landing Marina people may know, but unless you get someone who is in the know you will be wasting your time giving them a call.

May I suggest contacting some Potomac River guides who hit Aquia Creek and ask them? You can Google them and give them a call.

And you can call Rodney "Tank" Mosely and ask  him, 703.609.1458. Tank is a Potomac River guide.

Fish for them and see what happens and please let us know.

Willow is where I normally put in at. Thanks for the contact. I haven't been out since early fall and I'm starting to get antsy. Will be out there in the next coming weeks
