I might just be me but it seems like saltwater tides removed a few sites from their site selection. Namely the key bridge site which was the best for getting tide info for fletchers. (also seems like the Washington national airport site is gone too but that's another matter) Anyone know what would be the next best site to select for fletchers? or perhaps a different website to check? Im not a huge fan of the website fletchers recomends it does not seem to be as accurate as saltwater tides.
thanks -Sam

I noticed that too. Closest spot for 4mr and gravelly would be the DC channel. Been using TideApp on my phone as a second source. 

Hope someone has a better answer.

I saw that as well. I've been checking both DC channel and Alexandria, VA.

I use NOAA for most of my weather and tides predictions. They have a page where you can click any spot on a map it’s interactive. Check this out look for tide info in the lower right hand part of the screen after clicking on the river. The site also gives water temps and wind forecasts.

It's unfortunate that saltwater tides have stopped providing the charts for the Fletcher's area.  Here the link i've been using.  Still not as good as saltwater tides but it'll do.

FWIW...

Don't remember exact source but been using this:

http://tides.mobilegeographics.com/locations/5251.html for approximates.  I set it as an ical feed on my Google calendar and shows up as a layer on my phone.  I can turn it off or on as required.
