ErinInTheSky Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 Sad day for the angling community in the region @Bob Chill and @jaydreb 4 Mile Run has a chemical spill :-/ And nobody is giving any answers as to why or where it's coming from or even if they are investigating. There goes my one winter fishing spot. There's a ton of video of the sheen online and it's still pouring from a drain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The smell was terrible and there were booms in the water to contain the spill. It’s a shame. The good news is that in less than a month we shouldn’t need a winter fishing spot and we can go elsewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure how long you've lived in the area. If you catch anything out of there, highly suggest catch and release. Much of the area around 4-mile run is landfill, especially the lower reaches E of Shirley Hwy to Nat. Much of that landfill is contaminated with god only knows what. Remember when I moved here in the 80's all the foam that used to float down on the surface, especially ivo the treatment plant. They tried various skimming techniques, but year after year it was an issue. No doubt they must have some better technology these days, but.....

Serious question - have you caught anything in there with deformities? Back in the time (80's and early 90's), recall some environmental studies that discovered some mutations in the fish ivo 4-mile. It was part of a larger environmental effort on the Potomac. Regret I don't know all the details, but it caused a ruckus a the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my Pixel 3 XL using Tapatalk Similar forecast here in Oregon Cascades. 18" overnight at Mt Bachelor and another 40-50" expected before it starts winding down Wednesday. Base depth snow pack will be 12-14 feet by Wednesday. (from my house is it 8 miles west (1800' up) to deep snowpack and 21 miles to Mt Bachelor Parking lot) Not near as much snow here at my house but does look like 18-24" by Wednesday morning. The April- May ski conditions should be awesome. I am not missing my 47 years of winters in Virginia. Even though there were some incredible storms and winters there the normal 6 months of deep winter here in the mountains is hard to match for winter weather lovers.

Been thinking about getting one but haven’t pulled the trigger yet. Probably a dumb question, but do you use that as your primary grill too (i.e. hamburgers/etc)? Or should I keep the Weber for those things? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am ready for the beach and the icecream man. I can smell the Coppertone now if I close my eyes. My god to live in the long periods where there was little snow here would be torture, or better yet, without snow you can't get excited about snow and then no hobby. The GFS could be overplaying the cold but that does not work like you said , if has been addressed some how in the modeling. I am ready for camping. Still too early to dewinterize the trailer (probably the end of March/early April) but if we get a nice weekend in the next few weeks I might head up anyway. Wife doesn't like using the community showers and heads but she will have to deal. Try living through the 70's here in MD. Was too young to really realize how bad that decade was. The 79 storm was a real wakeup call for me as to what I had been missing all those years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My enjoyment is surfing and body surfing , love the Wildwood, NJ beach. Delaware beaches are a death trap with the massive fall off. They ruined them when they did beach replenshment. So, my brother-in-law and I head from Delaware all the way to North Wildwood, NJ to partake in the surf. ( and the ice cream too !!! ) I use MagicSeaweed.com to time the tide and best waves. The only issue is with the beach it takes forever to warm up and is the last gate to summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am now as Ji-amistic as JI is.. (at least for this season) Seeing is believing for. 10 days out doesn't do it for me anymore I'll be a JI-amist up until the time we are actually NOW CASTING something.

Typically OC up through Bethany. Loved the swimming, fishing, crabbing, night clubbing, etc... But now that I have gotten older I really don't drink that much nor night club at all. The fishing and crabbing is nowhere what it used to be and as far as swimming I forgo that now because I don't want to be mistaken for a grounded whale. Would hate to have a crowd of people trying to shove me back into the water thinking they were saving me. So when we go to the beaches now it is for different reasons. The restaurants, the scenery, visiting new places. You know, the stuff us old farts like to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
