{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Fished Tidal Basin on 3/8/2014 and got stopped twice for my license

Gotta say I really don't understand cops not accepting an image of your license on your phone.  Is there a reason why that make a difference?  Much easier to fake a printed license than a digital copy, if you consider resolution of phone screens compared to that of most printers.  Seems like sometimes officers just want to be a jerk and hassle someone who is obviously trying to follow the rules.

First the fish report: didn't catch anything or have any bites. Fished the incoming tide for a bit at the Ohio bridge, walked around a bit as well but no bites. 

I had bought my license that morning and didn't have printer at home, so I had it on my phone. When I was in front of the Jefferson Memorial a cop asked for my license. I told him I only had it on my phone,  he was nice and let it slide, but told me I should print it out next time. I then continued back to the Ohio Bridge. There were two people fishing bait on the other side, and I saw another cop start talking to them, not sure what the deal was but soon there were four cops talking to them. Think they were issued a citation. After they were done with that, two of those cops came over and checked my license. 

It was great to see them out in force checking licenses, but just a heads up to make sure that you have your license printed out and with you! 

Hope the weather stays warm!
