Constitution Gardens Pond Fish Kill

[Misha Gill]

LINK to WaPo article. 

The good news is that the NPS has a plan to renovate the pond, digging it down to 12 feet, to prevent this from happening again.

Glad to hear they have a plan... this seems to happen nearly every year!

Great news indeed! Last two years have been pretty tough there, though '13 and '14 it was my steady pre- and post-work spot.

Though the debate over "whether it should even have fish", that's disturbing.

What have folks caught in there in the past.  I run by it everyday...but is it worth throwing a fly into? 

Cheers

I was wondering if anyone knows if they restocked the pond or if any fish survived after the fish kill last summer.  CG is not far from my office and I thought it would be a good place to practice my roll cast during lunch if anything survived. I figure they might not have worried to restock it if they plan to drain it at some point soon as part of Phase II of the redevelopment plan. 

Thanks, 

Josh

I believe the pond is stocked with largemouth bass and bluegill, but I may be wrong.

Josh,

Family and Youth Casting Call is scheduled there on May 20^th, so I would assume there are or will be fish.

Thanks Carl.  This could also be another answer to Bobby's question about bluegill ponds to fish around DC.  Not quite as far as the Tidal Basin and accessible (kind of) from the Red Line.
