vaparrothead Posted March 26, 2021 Posted March 26, 2021 N. VA bass fishermen, question for you. If you could choose only one which would you prefer to fish, Occoquan Park (subject to Tidal Potomac) or Fountainhead (above the dam)? And more importantly, Why Quote
Super User Choporoz Posted March 26, 2021 Super User Posted March 26, 2021 Yes. I fish both. Maybe about equally. (From a kayak.) Completely different challenges. I tend to get better numbers out of ORP. I generally get more big fish (20 inches) from the Rez. ORP will give you better access to docks, pads, grass...but you are at the mercy of the tide and current. The Rez has more better laydowns, bluffs, big points and deep wood, but it can take years to learn. Fountain has boats to rent, so that's a big factor for some. Quote
vaparrothead Posted March 26, 2021 Author Posted March 26, 2021 I'm also in a kayak (Hobie). Looking a buying a year pass and kinda of wanted to get opinions on which is better before buying pass. Generally I have better luck on ORP and like you said Fountainhead can take years to learn. Also there are the rowing teams Quote
Super User Choporoz Posted March 26, 2021 Super User Posted March 26, 2021 The pass will also allow you to launch at both...plus Pohick, Algonkian, and a couple others. Quote
vaparrothead Posted March 27, 2021 Author Posted March 27, 2021 Well that's great news; thanks for the update Quote
