I understand the river used to be pretty bad but it has been one of the cleanest urban rivers for a long time.

There was never much heavy industry in the area, so the biggest cause of pollution was human waste, which clears up relatively quickly. People look at the muddy water and assume it's polluted.

The fishing while I was there (1990-1996) was actually better than here in Florida. I caught largemouth up to eight pounds fishing around the Columbia Island Marina (right behind the pentagon) in my kayak. There is a little creek there where the water gets too thin for motorboats that was really productive.

One thing that was strange is that I could absolutely not get the largemouth to hit a live bait, nothing but artificials.

Upriver the smallmouth fishing was good, though they tend to be pretty small.
