{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: DC Housing and Fly-fishing

I agree with Brendan.  All of the neighborhoods in DC are relatively different and have there pros and cons.  Most are around the same price, except for Georgetown, which tends to be a little more than the rest.  I live in Capitol Hill and really like it, but I also hate suburbs.  I either want the country or the city, I can't stand the "in between" burbs.  But that's personal preference.  For convenience to the tidal basin, Georgetown or areas north of there would be the most convenient but Arlington could be just as convenient.  If you want to be in the city, be close to water, and have restuarants, grocery stores, etc., the Navy Yard area is nice.   All of it depends on your price range and whether or not you want to be in the city.

First off, that's a real job? Sounds like something an 8 year old would make up when asked what he wants to be in life. amazing. 

I heard Richie is coming up with a new video on the joys of chub fishing. He's apparently figured out how to combine the san juan worm, dave's hopper and bh wooly bugger into one gnarly looking chub slayer. "the bullpasture doesn't stand a chance" 

back to the point, housing here is awful. Go small, cheap and as short of a lease as possible until to figure out the area you want to live in. lot's of variety but all ridiculously expensive.

I believe I can state with a high degree of confidence that should you show up at a Beer Tie at Whitlows and aren't too tight-fisted about it, you will leave with a surfeit of advice, good will and connections for fishing.  ;-)

Just watch out for that Turbine Blade guy and the two fly shop managers, one of whom has a thing for chubs and bluegills and the other who is sometimes mistaken for Jayson Werth. ;-)
