Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Gravelly This Morning

I have wet waded here before with the only issues being poison ivy, sunburn and lost pride but choose to wear waders in this area now. Three years ago, I remember a post on here from a fellow getting a nasty infection in a cut from wet wading the Potomac, and I've heard before that the river can have fecal bacteria levels several times above those of a flushed toilet after a rain. Just something to keep in mind.

See this article in the Washington Post from a few years back:  http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/07/13/AR2007071302079.html

Do yourself a favor and call here and talk to Grizzly about what company used to dump what chemicals into the back of the Duck Pond which drains at Gravelly Point, and ask him why he never fished either the pond or the outflow without wearing waders.

I don't fish it without waders either.

Thanks for the report!

I have a question... I am moving into that area in the next 2 weeks (near Southside 815 in Old Town). I have been looking at wading GP as well as most of the surrounding area and was wondering if you are wearing waders in the summer or just free wading?
