What time?  I was thinking I might try to get out around 5pm for an hour and a half or so.  I also have a kayak, but I need to check with my parking garage to see what their rules are if I put it in my truck bed (hence making the truck an extra 5' long and taking up 2 spaces)

I will be there around 10am after the morning rush and fish for 3-4 hours.

Ah, I won't be able to go that early with work.  I called fletcher's and they said that I can't launch my boat there, do you mind telling me where it is that you put in?  I'm also thinking maybe just fish from shore at chain bridge, but I'm still searching the forum to figure out where to park.

What kind of boat? Most private boaters put their cartops/rafts/etc in at the end of the parking lot on the rocky beach by the river debris piles. If you have a boat boat then you have to use one of the marinas downstream.

It took me a while to figure out the best parking spots as well. I've attached a couple file that I threw together that should help you determine what's best for your situation.  FYI, the hike under the bridge from the towpath to the water is the more adventurous route.

Thanks for the detailed maps!  I ended up using your 'option 2' and going under the bridge to fish off the rocks at Chain Bridge.  My 'boat' is just a kayak, so I think I could probably park at Fletcher's and launch if I can find that path.
