dhpol Posted June 27, 2009 Posted June 27, 2009 Has anyone fished the dulles airport pond in front of the hotel? If there's already been a thread about this I didn't know because the search function doesn't work. Quote
Super User Dan: Posted June 27, 2009 Super User Posted June 27, 2009 From what I have heard it is illegal to fish there. Like, federal trespassing illegal. Quote
dhpol Posted June 27, 2009 Author Posted June 27, 2009 I haven't seen any signs there. I was also told by a MWAA Police Officer that he didn't think people would be bothered if all there doing is fishing. Quote
Super User Dan: Posted June 27, 2009 Super User Posted June 27, 2009 Then go try it. Just know that it is airport property Quote
NewAngler Posted June 27, 2009 Posted June 27, 2009 I would also assume it would be highly illegal. A second opinion in this case wouldn't hurt. Quote
BassinNewbie Posted June 27, 2009 Posted June 27, 2009 no opinions from me, just a tip......if you happen to get caught on an airplane DON'T hang on tight and DON'T try to fight it!! just let go of the pole.............. LOL!! Quote

Best get his name and badge number, and make sure he'll vouch for you when you get stopped/caught. Quote

Super User Dan: Posted August 1, 2009 Super User Posted August 1, 2009 Yeah, it's probably a great idea to trespass on a federally owned lake instead of going to one of the other hundred or so ponds in the Dulles/Centreville area.... 1 Quote

anice Posted February 2, 2020 Posted February 2, 2020 I tried it, and caught nothing. After 30+ minutes a Airport cop came by and asked me to leave. He explained that the airlines used to empty jet fuel into that lake , and that it was toxic (no fish), although I did see turtles. Quote
