New Potomac River Map Glyph

For those of you who like to see check out the Potomac River conditions via the web I’ve compiled the following map. It eliminates the link trolling sometimes needed to find what you’re looking for. http://g.co/maps/fsg3u

This is absolutely awesome. I'll add this link to tpfr.org when I get a chance.

So, it appears that the river will continue to go down, if there is no
more rain, and reach a level at Leesburg of about 4.4- 4.5 on
Saturday...if it continues to drop as it is now.

I've not wade fished the Potomac before, but I'm guessing that is
still a bit high for wading safely (depends on where I'm sure). Am I
right?

I really need a way to edit, that reading above was taken near Harpers
Ferry, not Leesburg....

I know we are not supposed to post commercial links, but perhaps Dan
will allow this one for safety's sake.

If you are going to be doing a lot of wading or boating on the non-tidal
Potomac you really should buy GMCO's waterproof Potomac maps -
http://shop.gmcomaps.com/product.sc;jsessionid=9017DC8E05CE8132C3BE0DEBB4E17EE3.qscstrfrnt03?productId=31&categoryId=30

They contain all river features and rapids plus the levels at which
wading and boating are safe. They are a really good tool until you
become familiar with the stretch(es) you like to fish. Additionally
nearly every boat ramp on the Potomac has a painted strip down the ramp
- red at the top, yellow at the bottom. These paint marks correlate to
the caution system the Potomac river uses regarding flows and whatnot.
With the map to explain those color codes, you can stop and a ramp and
determine whether or not it is safe without looking up the river level
(even though we all have smart phones now and can look up the levels).

My GMCO map stays in my canoe and has survived lots of trips.
