{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Potential loss of access to the Potomac River through an historic venue at Fletcher's Cove

Seems like it would be relatively easy to fix. 

 

If it is an issue of funds, somewhat should start a fund me or whatever they are.  I would gladly donate...

Was it closed due to siltation or because someone missed the jump over that gap in the boards?

Easy access to one of America's greatest river's and an historic venue is threatened!

Over the year's siltation from man-made development and the altering of the Potomac's natural flow near its fall line has created a critical situation at Fletcher's Cove.  This fall the walkway to the dock was deemed unsafe for use.  Access to the dock was shut down just before the 2014 season closed.  The potential does exist for permanent closure if the situation is not evaluated and resolved soon.   Many separate efforts are beginning or are currently underway to at least analysis the issue.  This post is to make many more of you, who utilized the resource, more aware of the issue and begin to rally around a worthwhile cause.  That cause would be to maintain access to a unique recreational resource through a venue which has endured so much for so many generations.  At least until now.  Please stay tuned.
