Thanks for the report Bruce and nice seeing you again this year at the Motel T. Like you, I found the fishing hit and miss the weekend I was there. I had a nice day on a Friday and hooked several fish in some of my usual spots. Saturday I met up with Buzz and his son Dave and we fished our guts out and moved to a number of runs throughout the river. Nada, zilch. Tough day that I can only characterize as steelhead fishing. We tried like the dickens to get Buzz's son into fish to no avail. Late in the afternoon I returned to several of my favorite runs to finish out the last hour and I did not find a run open, so called cocktail and got out of the rain. Sunday rather than fight the crowds I took a camera out to try and catch the spectacular fall colors around the river. It sounds like my last day with a camera was much more successful than yours at that ever popular run near a bridge in DC!
Here's a couple of pictures from the weekend:
