This is ugly!
Most likely will ruin the spawn.
Gonna be a while before we get out there again.....

This sucks. I was gonna fish the tidal portion this weekend. Guess I have to pick a lake instead.

You beat me to it Ernie. It will be at least a week to two to come down. Not good for the spawn either...

With enough gas, there's always a floatable river available

Both LF and the Washington Channel at at Minor flood stage.....

So, is Sleeter Lake open yet?

They are saying 3-6" more before Sunday! Fredrick, MD got 4" today alone.
Offline
Now the prediction is 19.8' at POR and 10.6' at LF. Not good at all!
I talked to a guide on Tuesday and like John said above, this will wipe away most of the spawn.

Will this flood allow Snakeheads to move further up the Potomac??

Seems like they may already be there.

Hmmmm, nope....won't happen with my back still in healing mode but thanks anyway. I taped a couple of fishing shows.....

To my knowledge, all of the snakehead talk above Great Falls is pure BS. No actual record of events. But, people do transport them.....like the one in the article but that one was dead.
A 15 lb snakehead is a monster...record around here is 17-18lbs.

Couple years ago I read an article in the local paper that showed pix of the RR @ Brunswick and the guy w/ the fish
Like I said, reported. Didn't see it in person, but with all the fake news around now a days, I believe you
Hmmmm, nope....
LOL

Looks like POR will settle at 24' before receding, 1' from major flood.
We should have a contest to see when it will be back at 5'.....
Offline
Ugh! That will be close to 2 weeks. I will say Memorial Day.
Offline
Interesting...I was looking a some river levels out west a bit and they crest tomorrow but their predictions say back to normal in a few days.
I saw a video of Great Falls and she was raging. As well, I was told that this is the most water since sometime in mid 90's.
All we can do is hope and let gravity do some work.
Offline
It will bring us some fresh hogs to catch from up yonder!

I work at Riverbend. We are expecting water very close to or even in the visitor center by saturday.
Needless to say, the ramp is closed.
Offline
CLOSURES: Monocacy Boat Ramp (MM 42.2), Nolands Ferry Boat Ramp (MM 44.6), Lander Lock Boat Ramp (MM 50.8), and Dargan Bend Boat Ramp (MM 64.9) are all CLOSED until further notice.

Drove the river on the MD Side to work today and it was an easy 4 feet higher than an extreme high tide. Just the tops of the stacked roadway in the spoils were showing. Maybe a foot of them. The break wall on the outside of the spoils are out of site. The Ferris wheel pier at National Harbor had one foot of free area under the pier. Two creams in your coffee.

Where will all of the striper, shad, herring and white perch eggs end up? High price to pay for some green grass, the whole spawn is probably a washout.
