    May and June were exceptional for me this year. July became tuff but that was most likely just me losing the fish movements. Typical grass patterns.

    July on the Potomac.
    Full sun. 90-100°
    Sweat running down the crack of your arse.
    10-2 with the sun directly above.
    Best time to surf a frog.

    I thought the Smallwood Campground was going to open in 2023....Maybe someone else knows for sure.

    Haha...this is exactly what to expect. With lots of boat traffic on top.

    Thanks guys for the feedback, has the grass come back full river or is it sections of the river. Look so forward to that frog bite.

    Based on salinity levels, river flow rate (determined by amount of precipitation upstream), and weather conditions, the grass types, location, health, and density change every year and throughout the fishing season. It really a different river every year with regards to vegetation.
