{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Kicked out of one of my favorite fishing spots

I have to say I am very impressed with their detailed response and, most of all, their responsiveness.  In a time where people quickly hand off responsibility and requests like this get lost in never-ending circulation, this is refreshing.

Wow, they were quick to respond.  Two parties promptly apologized for the actions of the security guard. 

This was sent to me form the head of security:
"I apologize for the action of our officer.  I just issued a memorandum to them and the Chief of Police in Occoquan this week restating that we cannot control the river just our shores.  I will make sure they understand that directive. 

As per our knuckle heads I will deal with them more harshly.   As an avid fisherman myself, I despise of people disobeying regulations"

Sounds like we should be good this year and sounds like the other matter will be handled.

Here are the important facts:
1.  You MUST be in a boat.  You can't walk back in the area and you can't get out of the boat, kayak, etc.
2.  If you decide to be stationary you should anchor, don't tie up to a rock.
3.  Shoreline access is STRICTLY restricted.  Again, don't get of your boat!
4.  Comply with all fishing regulations and please don't litter.

I have done a lot of communicating with Fairfax County Water Authority to make sure that we have access in this area and we can fish it as it is a productive area.  Please make sure that everyone follows these guidelines!  You can't do anything about other people, except for call the proper authorities on them or notify Fairfax Water Authority.  Just be careful in this area as there can be a lot of current going through there.
