Upper Potomac River

The Upper Potomac River near Poolesville, Maryland is one of the premier river smallmouth bass fisheries on the entire East Coast. Located just north of Washington DC, it is an easy drive for anglers from Northern Virginia, the DC metro area, and Baltimore, Maryland. This stretch of river is defined by rocky shoals, deep pools, grass flats, and fast-moving current seams that hold trophy-class smallmouth bass twelve months a year. River smallmouth are the only thing professional guide Jeff Greene targets on the Upper Potomac River and what he knows and his experience directly translates into exceptional catch rates for anglers of all skill levels.
