Some interesting reading about how the gates work, they are automatic gates, meaning that they use the pressure of the water to either open or close.

If I am in a good mood I will explain to people the function of the basin and a bit of the history. Other times I pretend I don't hear them.

I've never fished the Basin, but would love to cook up a story about how it's naturally formed. "During the ice age a large circular deposit of limestone and granite was left here. Later the Patowmack tribe began to quarry the rock to trade with English settlers..."Seriously people still think it's1982 when the tidal river was sludgy near DC.
