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.

Accotink Creek is a tidal tributary stream of the Potomac River in Fairfax County, Virginia. At Springfield, Accotink Creek is dammed to create Lake Accotink. The stream empties into the Potomac at Gunston Cove's Accotink Bay to the west of Fort Belvoir.
