Particularly good choices are pumpkin green lizards or snag resistant frogs. If you could only choose three colors, the best choices for bass fishing the Potomac would be green pumpkin, blue and black, and watermelon.

When the bass are in the spawn, consider a hard jerkbait such as a number eleven floating Rapala! Use a quick motion of jerks with tiny twitches to keep the bait relatively stationary while still grabbing the attention of the bass in the area. Powell rods are always good choices when it comes to fishing for bass on the Potomac. Use from a ten to twenty pound test line for best results.
