This is urban trout fishing in every sense of the word. Part of this creek is right beside the Washingotn 495 beltway. Accotink is a Delayed Harvest Creek, which is small at best. The pressure is very heavy, and Poaching is a problem. Your lucky to get a fish in June when the delayed harvest is open. When I fish here, which isnt that often, I take a walking stick with me that doubles as a defense measure, just in case.
