I'm certainly no expert, but I've been re-reading this language that has been posted on this thread several times:
"Bathing, swimming or wading in any fountain or pool except where officially authorized is prohibited. Bathing, swimming or wading in the Tidal Basin, the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal, or Rock Creek, or entering from other areas covered by this section the Potomac River, Anacostia River, Washington Channel or Georgetown Channel, except for the purpose of saving a drowning person, is prohibited"
It seems to be a section of the law pertaining to swimming rather than fishing. At least I imagine that was the intent when this was written. I don't know the legitimacy of this argument or how well it would hold up, but I sincerely hope that out of this interaction we would be able to clarify with respect to the law the difference between entering the river to swim and entering the river to fish.
