Is it permitted to put a canoe in the Duck Pond? Thanks.--

Had a run in with the law this morning at gravelly. The officer's name was John Alto, super nice guy and a fisherman himself. He asked for my license and I gave him my DC license which he was okay with but he said you technically do need a VA license. I also know there has been some debate about the legality of wading at Gravelly. Again, he told me it was technically illegal but that he wasn't going to write me up for wading. I spoke with him in the parking lot so he did not catch me in the act of wading but I had my waders on when I talked with him after I fished. I fish at gravelly and the duck pond a lot and this is the first time I've ever been stopped by park police. John said they are hiring some more officers to help patrol the river and are making a bigger effort to stop poaching, especially in the spring. I guess this doesn't really help answer any questions, and I could have just gotten lucky, but I thought I'd still share.
In other news, the fishing at gravelly is hot. Outgoing tide at sunset last night and sunrise this morning. Swinging clousers and deceivers through the current works well. Schoolies, largemouth, and even a 28-30 inch walleye. Couldn't get a picture of the walleye so you'll just have to believe me. I've added some pictures from last night and this morning and then some pictures from gravelly, 4mr, and the duck pond from summer/fall. Snakehead was caught back in August by my buddy on topwater.
Looking forward to meeting some of you guys at the next beer tie.
Tight lines,
Connor

Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Gravelly Point
I can't say if it is or isn't, but I've put my canoe in there several times (and have often seen others doing the same) and never had a problem. Near the north end of the parking lot there's an access point that's perfect for launching canoes and kayaks.
