Four Mile Run Update

[Rob Snowhite]

Spent the past two days out on 4MR

Some things to note:

• Arlington county now has someone patrolling the 4MR trail and checking for licenses
• The trees and brush along the Arlington side have been trimmed from S. Eads st to the outflow. This has opened up a lot of space to back cast. It also put a lot of great structure in the water. You can now sneak up from the shore and cast over them
• Some big sucker/carp type of fish were in there today. I'll generously say they were 2' long. If I was in Florida I'd say they were bonnet heads. They came right up to me today and were spooked and took off
• There was a guy on the Frank Mann Field section wearing a Fukushima looking haz mat suit with a hard hat today. He was picking up litter along the shore. Kudos to him.

Hey Rob, any of them Tigerfish in there?

I saw that same big damn fish. It scared the piss out of me the other weekend. It trolled by about 7" from me and I literally froze up. I have no idea what it is/ was but it did not care about me, the two carp swimming with it and the school of Goldfish around it.
