Osprey Fishing Charters: Potomac River Fishing
Overview
Want to take your kids fishing, but don’t know where to start? New to the Washington, DC area and want to see what fishing we have to offer? In town for a work trip and you’ve got a free day to wet a line? Want a stress-free day on the water away from the daily grind?
I’m Captain Rich, and I want to take you fishing. My goal is to provide an affordable fishing excursion that helps both new and experienced anglers discover the joy of fishing in the local area. Fishing is an opportunity for you to bond with your family–when you take your son or daughter fishing you are away from the distractions of life. Fishing with your kids is a great opportunity to connect with them and really spend quality time. If you don’t know how to fish, but want to learn how so you can start building that quality time with your kids, I want to help you. On our trips, I want you to learn something new, catch some fish, and walk away with a great experience that you can share with your family.

Yes. Whatever the fishing calls for: live bait, frozen bait, cut bait, or chum, our Charter Captains will have plentiful supplies on hand. The same thing goes for artificial bait such as lures, flies, or plugs.
