Be very careful everyone. And in a different vein, this incident and the possibility for above average interest in the coming shad run may get the police out looking for scofflaws in the water at the edges of the river. :-(

I can only imagine how cold this guy was when they caught up to him.

Imagine how cold he'd be if they hadn't. I'm won't be holding my breath for enforcement of DC's fishing regs or littering laws.

That kid is incredibly lucky to have survived. It's dangerous enough in the summer, let alone now with the water at 40 degrees...

Several of us were at Fletcher's yesterday morning for our Sunday morning Spey Casting Clinic, aka Casting Church, with Regan Burmeister when around 10am a Police Boat raced up the river at full speed then shortly raced downriver at full speed. I wonder if this is the reason.
