That's probably in the Washington Channel...sad.

Two men drowned near Leesylvania in two separate incidents July.


Time to go fishin' again!

Right across the Washington Chanel. The water can get shallow there (some shoals) but the main channel is nearby.

Did  it say it was in the Potomac or Anacostia?

This morning, read an article they found 3 bodies in the Potomac and Anacostia - but the article lacks the information on the identification of the bodies
