Trophy Fishing Charters in and around the Nation’s Capital

Specializing in fly and light tackle fishing for the big 8 (this number keeps growing), monster blue catfish, striped bass, snakehead, musky, walleye, carp, trout and bass in and around the Nation’s Capital. On a typical day on the water with me I like to show my clients/friends as many different species of fish and techniques as possible. We won’t be limited to only fly and light tackle as sometimes bait, trolling and or sight fishing gets the job done too. As an old timer, a true Potomac river rat once told me, “If it takes a hot dog and a hook, then use a hot dog and a hook.” There’s something for everyone whether you are a beginner or a seasoned veteran. I promise I will do my best to show you something you’ve never seen before in this incredibly diverse fishery we have right here in Washington, D.C. I also specialize in walk/ wade fishing trips from everything from trout to walleye/musky fishing trips in areas close to DC to as far as Western Maryland. Or how about an after work special of an evening smallmouth trip close to home in the summer? Or a night time private pond hopping event where we fish two or three different private ponds I have permission to fish under the cover of darkness? Bass over 5 pounds on top water is a reality as they like to look up at night, particularly in the hot summer months. Or have you ever caught a 10 pound carp on a dry fly with a fly rod? Yes that’s a possibility too, particularly when the mulberries start to fall from the trees. Or we can tease them up with damsel fly nymphs as we sight cast to mudding and tailing carp like you might expect from a bonefish or a redfish. You’ll be surprised of all the opportunities so close to home. Let me take care of the thinking, the planning, the driving, the weather reports and the water levels to provide you with the best opportunity at a trophy fish…. or three.
