Calm still water in areas with deep pools (even lily pads in a few spots).
The weather is cooperating and we have moved over to the Mattaponi River in Caroline County. Assessments are nearly complete and trash removed from a four mile section has already been delivered to the collection site. The crew is patiently moving along the river in a section below the Milford DGIF boat launch which is littered with downed trees. We appreciate the assistance we’ve received from local government, Luck Stone and landowners who provided us with information and access. Look for another update early next week!
