DaveM: Take it from me... its NOT worth it. I went out yesterday. Left Aquia Creek and headed to Tim's. Got in the main river and didn't see a thing. I thought man this is perfect. Left Tim's headed for Gilligans. No sooner did I get on plane I found myself in a MASSIVE float of logs, debris, lumber, boxes, shelves, you name it. Took me 30 minutes to idle to the MD side. At that time I had to get in the water, defoul both drives, and made it to Gilligans. On the way home ran into another HUGE float in front of Aquia. This one had some trees 24"-36" around, large logs, etc. Same story again. The rivers passable, but no fun.

Thanks for the report. I figured as much so I decided to go to work and save my vacation time.

Jason.....I am sorry, was getting the information from someone who lives on the water. He also went out, ran into the trash float. Bruce called me to warn me, and I sent you a message asap, but I guess you were already out. I kind of figured that their would be some trash on the river some where.

Hmmm maybe i should take the plastic boat and check north of the power lines. I feel its my duty.

It is your duty.
