Beer Tie for PHWFF
Apologies for not getting this out earlier, but great thanks for the flies and donations you made last Monday for Project Healing Waters Fly Fishing. Both the flies and donations went to the Walter Reed Program and were fished Saturday on the Octararo. Unfortunately there were not many catches, but the river was high and fast. Even our experienced fishers failed to catch. We will use these flies all year long. Thanks again, looking forward to next year's event.

Took my kids out to Dogue Creek at Ft Belvoir today. It was so nice to be out again. All I got were some little bluegills but my son got a bass, which he caught, landed, handled carefully and released. Nice day.

Looks like I will be picking up either a TFO 7'9" Finesse or an Orvis Clearwater 7'6" rod this weekend. Anyone know of a shop where you can find the TFO locally? Otherwise it's Amazon Prime
Oh, and Nick, wondered I'd anyone was going to say Tenkara. I confess every time I see that word I wonder if it isn't Japanese for "cane pole". Don't mean that pejoratively!
Thanks for reminding me what a great bunch of folks populate this forum.

You'd have to call to see if they have the specific model in stock, but Bass Pro / Cabelas carry TFO brand.
I don't think any of the above replies mentioned it, but one relatively inexpensive rod solution for brookies in the park, that is strong medicine, is a Tenkara rod. They are very long, which seems counterintuitive, but they collapse! So you can move from pool to pool, and through trees etc. easily as kind as you have a system to manage your line—I prefer winding it over 2 hook keepers on the handle piece. And as long as you are careful the extra length and small diameter of a furled Leader (I prefer) or "level-line" (long piece of of mono) with a light tippet makes it easy to get drag free drifts across swirling currents in plunge pools. Takes a little practice but if you have used a fly rod you'll figure it out in 10 minutes.
Now I've gone and done it, and mention both big stores and Tenkara in a post on a fly fishing forum. Lol I may be in timeout for a long time.
Good luck and tight lines |

Bass Pro in Hanover, MD has the tfo 3 weight 7'9" finesse in stock |

If you live in the District, we're a closer alternative than driving all the way up the 40mph pothole-ridden BW Parkway.
Our TFO shipment leaves Dallas, TX on Monday morning, with some BVK and the short 379-4 Finesse rod you're looking for on board. They should be here before the weekend.
Regards,
Richard
District Angling

Outstanding! I will come and work on spey...I might bring my son to try and get back into fishing after I nearly froze him on a winter trip. See you tomorrow |

I'll try to attend as well. I'm new to the group and just getting into fly
fishing. I've been fishing with conventional tackle for 25 years or so, but
have always wanted to break into fly fishing. So I finally pulled the
trigger and got my first outfit (single hand). Are these event's usually
held at Fletcher's? I saw there was one there recently but didn't see a
location for this date.

Daniel,
Welcome to the group. We typically try to hold a casting church once a month. They are always held at Fletchers! In the past they have not been on a specific date, but instead whenever the instructors were available and decided to call one.
Starting in May TPFR will be holding a Casting Church rain or shine on the second Sunday of every month from 9am to 11am.
Other members TPFR members may put together additional casting churches throughout each month as well, so watch the forum for opportunities to get free instruction!
Were truly blessed to have so many talented instructors in the group who are willing to volunteer their time.
Cheers,
Art Noglak

The hickory shad season has begun at Fletcher's. Here's our first Shad
Report
<https://static-promote.weebly.com/share/b489a6f4-65c8-44ff-b7d0-2031c04b1265>
of the year with details.
Alex took the prize on Friday evening, but we'd still like to find out who
gets the first fly rod fish (probably today) and the first American shad.

First hickory shad was caught by Alex Friday evening. River is high and
murky but plenty fishable this weekend. First fly rod catch and American
shad catch still open!
