Randall,
Welcome aboard and thank you for the kind words. We do not have monthly meetings in the conventional sense since there are many great fishing clubs in the area that already do. Instead, once a month we hold a TPFR BEER TIE at RiRa Irish Pub in Arlington, VA. These are generally scheduled on the second Monday of each month. I am in the process of setting up the next several and confirming with the pub. As soon as they are set, I will post them here and we will add the dates to the EVENTS page on our site. Click that link and see pictures from BEER TIEs past! Looking forward to seeing you there!

--Fellow Fly Fish Folks or the Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders,Since recently moving up into NOVA in Fairfax and finding you guys on the net I super glad to see such info and sharing and hopefully be able to make some connection in the near future. I am fairly new to the side of fly flishing having an uncle deep into it and coming from Hampton Roads area I have got inot over the last couple years and got some great advice from a fly club down there Virginia Coastal Fly Anglers. So I totally enjoy your insights on this thread but am also wondering do you have a monthly meeting etc and other aspect of the club I can tie into as I settle into the area and figure out the lay of the land. Appreciate all your input and and ideas and look forward to meeting some of you guys either at a meeting or on the water somewhere.. till then.. tight lines and fighting fish!

I will second that Tom Baltz is an excellent guide, one of the best! I send a lot of customers to him to fish the Breeches and I always have the utmost confidence that he will deliver a great experience regardless of the number of fish caught. Tom is one of the most patient, gentle, and compassionate guides I have ever met, and a genuinely good human being.In my opinion, Carl's words speak a thousand pictures, and it came through loud and clear that he had a great day on the water with a great guide. Thank you for an excellent report Carl! I am certain you will fish with Tom again and can ask for a few snapshots then, but they seldom compare to the actual memories. Besides, being so busy fishing that pictures are an afterthought is really one of the best problems to have!Richie, I am sure your post will be informative, but please tread lightly and remember that all of the "people here", new or old, are actually part of the fly fishing world because they fly fish. And while opinions vary widely, the fly fishing world is often a house made of extremely thin glass.Let's all remember to have FUN!Dan Davala

Fly fishing guides take on many roles: casting instructor, boat captain, entomologist, emergency room techinician, pincushion, gourmet chef, psychiatrist, bartender, ornithologist, stand up comedian, ichthyologist, marriage counselor, and outdoor photographer.
Not every guide carries your gear, flies for you, your lunch, tippet and leaders, a spare rain jacket, AND a camera.
I'm going to write up a post here in a few days because I think there are too many people here that don't understand certain aspects of the fly fishing world.

Sounds great. One of my favorite places to fish. Sounds like you had a great day. Only side comment is good guides carry cameras...shame on him for not taking a few pics.Frank--

The fishing was great. I landed a dozen Rainbows and Browns and
lost/rolled a dozen more.
This was in the Catch and Release section just below the town of Boiling
Springs. This area is about two hours from DC.
My guide was Tom Baltz, and I highly recommend him. He put me on to
fish and coached me through the techniques of nymphing that river.
Without him, I doubt I would have caught a single fish, since the water
was stained and you couldn't see any fish. It was hot out there, but
the fish were biting.
I wish I had pictures, but I was too busy fishing.
