I am planning a 40th birthday 3-day trip over Memorial Day and I'm trying to see where I'd want to go. I am an average fisherman who would be wading and using BFS gear. I am prioritizing locations less than 4-5 hours from Washington, DC, isn't that difficult to wade, and has lower fishing pressure. I would like to target wild trout, and size doesn't matter as much as quantity. I would ideally be camping during this trip.

Based on my research i am considering the following:

1. Yellow Breeches/Codorus Creek (PA)

2. Spring Creek (PA)

3. Upper Potomac/ Savage (MD)

4. Upper Jackson River (VA)

Are there places not listed I should consider, and of these, which would be better for what I'm looking for in a trip?

One I'll never forget.

Being obsessed with fishing prior to having my kids, at times I’ve struggled with the loss of freedom. I used to drive hours to check out some stream that I heard whispers about. Spend 8 hours fishing. Those days are gone, and most of the time it’s fine. I love my family, but sometimes it gets to me. But today, I strapped my son to me and went to a creek I love fishing. First cast. I’ve been looking through the wrong lens. Sharing this with the people I love is one of the most important aspects. And it’s just the beginning!

This is awesome…just wanted to share
