Yet this is a common theme in northern Virginia. Park employees are excellent though. I do like my times over here. Some of my best fishing trips used to be here. Whether it's overfishing or VGIF isn't stocking as much, I'm not sure what's going on. There are some walleye. Last few years I've caught some crappie, catfish, and bluegill. The bass caught have been small. Used to find the area by the water containment to be top notch. Now I use the walk our dock that's got a roof on it. This is a great structure to relax by the water, yet the fishing quality has dropped substantially.

We caught fish. I follow his technique. He has really good equipment to use and ties his own flies. We plan to see him at Whitlows. Rob was incredibly knowledgeable about fishing and knows the waterways like his own home. I cannot recommend him enough for anglers of all skill levels, all fishing conditions. Family fun, serious anglers, even taking a client out for a good time. He is also a nice guy who reads his clients well. I would give 10 stars if Yelp would let me.

Rob also gave us tips on the best places in the DC area to flyfish and told us about the local meetup group. Rob, thank you for such a memorable morning. And the weather could not have been nicer!

My son surely enjoyed himself...he caught plenty of fish and learned a lot from the captain as far as fishing and the area we traveled. This trip is perfect for little ones and adults just wanting to get out and learn. I'd come back time and time again for a reasonable priced day out on the water. Great communication by the staff before and after the experience. The website gives you all of the information in advance so that you are well prepared. Book a trip and see for yourself...there's even a little crabbing too. Awesome trip

We were sold on the good deal to do any water activities in a one or two hour timeframe. We decided to do tandem kayaking. the $13 for an hour came with a life vest, paddle, and the kayak. It was a relatively easy process to rent, and once we got out there, it was beautiful! My favorite time to go out on the water is during the summer, because the trees are full and fluffy. We'd definitely do this again, and with a larger group so we can all enjoy being outside!

This little hidden gem of a park is perfect when you want to enjoy the outdoors without the crowds, playgrounds, or screaming kids. Even on a busy holiday weekend, I was able to sit outside, soak up the sun, and do some painting in total tranquility. A few people were fishing off the nearby pier, and others were strolling by, but overall, it was wonderfully quiet. It's the kind of spot you'd easily drive past without noticing--and honestly, I hope it stays that way. There's nothing quite like a peaceful, quiet park to clear your head.

I've been going to school house pond for years...it's roughly 9 min from my house if traffic is…read moreideal...what unlike most about the pond besides the close location is the variation of things to do at the pond...although I've fished and walked the trail several times this is also an ideal place to come for a outdoor meeting, lunch in the park, and even a place to reflect for a few minutes before driving home. I have seen yoga classes in the summer which is also a nice attraction. Unfortunately a few bad storms came through and made some damage to some of the walking bridges but there's still enough space for one to explore. There's several local businesses close by to Grab a snack. The park has ample seating for everyone and even benches close to the pier. If you plan to fish...bring a license. The area is stocked several times a year but that doesn't mean it's any easier...on this particular occasion I did well but there have been some other times where well my son did better. Whatever you do....don't allow your kid to bring an iPad lol...I've seen one of ours fall in the water...and although we got it back...it was never the same

Awesome local crabs!…read more We were staying in town for a small family vacation and of course we need to get some MD crabs during the summer. Our host had recommended this spot and it did not disappoint. We got a couple dozen crabs and some shrimp and we were stuffed. The crabs were fresh, as I was literally waiting for them to come in from the fisherman in the morning., and waited outside for them to be cooked. The crabs were sweet and stuffed. We loved them! This is a pick up spot, they do not have dine in. I would call in the order as early as you can when they open. I'm sure they run out at some point.
