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

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!

Dan Davala

{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Fly Fishing Experience/Lesson in the DC Area

Another suggestion, while not being in DC but down in Lexington, is John Roberts. My first introduction to fly fishing was with him. Spent an entire day and went from pond casting to being on a stream hooking rainbows and browns. Great teacher and I became pretty decent with my cast (which degraded promptly when I left the country for a year and couldnt practice). Worth the drive. www.vatrout.com.

Ive also spent time with Rob. Learned a lot about what is available locally.

Orvis also teamed up with the Unicorn Winery in Amissville VA (out by Warrenton) They cover all the same material in Flyfishing 101 and 201 but with more depth. Lunch is provided as is some wine tasting. The winery has a pond with lots of pan fish and some pretty aggressive bass.

I haven't been actively fly fishing for 4-5 years now, but would like to start getting a line in the water more often. I have finally convinced my significant other that it might be a fun activity to do together. The problem is, I am pretty rusty on technique and she is completely new to the game, so I think it might be best to jump start ourselves with a little excursion/guided trip that will get us on fish and get her really excited to keep going. I don't necessarily want to commit to a whole weekend getaway, so it would be nice if it was within driving distance of D.C.

Does anyone have any good recommendations for this type of thing?

If you want your lesson on the Gunpowder for trout, give Micah Danmeyer at Knee Deep Flyfishing a call. He is great at instruction and puts together a great trip.

{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Spring Trout Trip Suggestions?

Little J is great. Lots of other options nearby including Spring Creek... Penns Creek during the green drake hatch is probably the one you should hit though at least once...

I want to plan a long weekend trout fishing trip for sometime around May this spring. I'm thinking of heading up to PA and try some of the famous streams that I hear all about but have yet to try. I've narrowed it down to three options:

Central PA (Penns Cr. Little Juniata)
Pine Creek Watershed (Slate, Cedar Run)
Lehigh River

Any thoughts, or experiences? Also, any recommendations on lodging/campgrounds, and fly shops in the area?

Thanks!

{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Bass on a bugger

This is one of my buggers fresh off the vise and a flick of small largemouth that I hooked into earlier in March at 4MR.

Feel as if this is a good visual tutorial for those who are interested in filling up their boxes with some.

{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: My first shad of the year

I cast upstream and counted to 20 and then began a slow retrieve. If I were to guess at the depth I would say 15 feet.

{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: My first shad of the year

Nice one, I hope to hook into my first shad soon. If you were to guess, about how deep do you think? I assume you were casting from shore?

Sorry for the bad pic but it was really windy. This guy hammered it. They are very deep
