Shad and striped bass are scattered from Fletcher’s to Chain Bridge. The flow is still below average for this time of year and clarity is excellent, this combination seems to be pushing concentrations of fish upstream of Fletcher’s into the faster, deeper water. There are still plenty of shad scattered in the cove as well. Deep, slow retrieves are working for shad while stripers are hitting bucktail jigs and trolled crankbaits.
