{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: GREAT BEER (WHISKEY) TIE EVERYONE - HERE'S TO THE FIFTH YEAR!!!!!

That sounds like fun Rich -- the last time I fished Burke Lake was 3 years ago with spinning rods.  I got a huge bluegill on a heddon torpedo, but nothing else.  A TON of Canada Geese were breeding (spawning might be a better term) on that central island where I got out to take a whizz.  Funny!  Those things are fearless.  I remember pleading with one nesting pair to just let me do my thing and I promised not to steal their egg!  

Didn't see any muskie -- but I'd love to catch one some day.  Along with a dozen other species I haven't got yet.  

I did just rig up a trip for Beth's birthday next fall up on the Salmon River with Tony Gugino.  That should be interesting...several species up there I've never caught.  

Oh - and excellent beer tie!  Thanks to Dan for all of his work before and after in setting up these beer ties to run smoothly.  I recognize the hellacious amount of work this involves, and don't envy his schedule on these days!

A HUGE THANK YOU to everyone who made it out last night to celebrate with us at the TPFR 4-year anniversary/birthday party/BEER TIE.  We had a head count of 80+ in attendance, and we cleared a little over $700 for the club which will go a very long way.  Thank you to everyone who donated, participated in the raffle, bought hats or stickers, or raised a glass of Whiskey for the cause.  Thank you to Rob Snowhite for teaching some awesome Shad Flies at the beginner's table.  Thank you to Neale Walker for pouring the spirits, and thank you to Heidi Bensen from Number 1 Sons pickles for bringing some awesome samples to go with the whiskey, and for donating a healthy dose of pickles to the raffle.

 

If you participated in the Whiskey tasting, please take a moment to provide some feedback on this thread.  It was only the first of many, but since it was the first there were a few hitches we'll sort out by the next one for sure.  Also, feel free to suggest future whiskey offerings you'd like to see represented.

 

Thanks again to everyone for the incredible fourth year - here's to the fifth!
