This past week I took a little hiking trip up the C&O canal. I walked through some new-to-me sections, including a spot called Wide Water:
It is, like the name suggests, a mile-ish spot where the canal is very wide and deep. Even right at the bank it looks to be around 10-15' deep. From shore I was able to hook three very nice bass in about a 45min, but only was able to land one, the other two jumped and threw the hook. I was using an ML spinning rig and I think I was a bit outclassed. In any case, I am eager to get my yak out there. There is access via Old Angler's Inn, though I believe it is a bit of a carry. Anyone ever done any fishing around there?
