{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} PFD recommendations

Good evening,

I've been lurking for about six months and have decided to jump in and join the party. 

Several months ago I started fly fishing again after a layoff of many (30+!) years. As you might imagine I've been upgrading from the 40-50 year old gear I used when I was last an active fly fisher (I have no excuse, I let job/wife/kids/life get between me and my fly gear). Between old and new gear I have a number of outfits ranging 3wt through 9wt (only missing 4wt in that range). 

At this point I've been fishing mostly Royal Lake and Burke Lake to regain confidence in my casting ability (came back faster than I thought it would - like riding a bike). However, I am bored with those locations and am ready to visit other locals and catch different, and bigger, fish. 

A recent purchase included a few of Steve Moore's books. This weekend I'd like to visit the Potomac area between Fletcher's Cove and Chain Bridge with, perhaps, a side trip to the C&O Canal. The Moore book recommends using a PFD even when fishing from shore (I have not yet upgraded to waders - any recommendations there?). I'm interested in recommendations from the TPFR regarding PFDs.   

I'm looking forward to exploring most, if not all, of the locations shown on the TPFR map, and will probably avail myself of guided services for what appear to be more challenging locations.

I've learned a lot from reading TPFR posts and look forward to attending the next Beer-Tie.

Cheers,

Jim
