{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} float trip on the 15th of April....

I'm looking for a guided trip on Sunday April 15th in the DC area (friend coming in for shad fishing Monday/Tuesday).

Any recommendations appreciated - shenandoah float top of my list, but willing to deviate to something different.

Pete

Thanks for intel, Terry. Heading to a Sherman Creek trib in Tuscarora State
Forest, NW of Carlisle. In pursuit of mostly brookies and maybe some browns

Expect to be far enough upstream that the precip won't be an issue.

April 9 Beer Tie featuring Project Healing Waters Fly Tie-A-Thon and Potomac Slam Tournament party

Dalton Terrell <daltonbterrell@gmail.com>: Apr 04 08:28AM -0700

The next Beer Tie is coming up next Monday, April 9 at the Backbar of
Whitlow's on Wilson. The Beer Tie will feature a Project Healing Waters
<http://projecthealingwaters.org/> (PHW) Fly Tie-A-Thon and the kick-off
party for the Tidal Potomac Slam Tournament
<http://tidalpotomacslam.ncc-tu.org/>.

For the PHW Fly Tie-A-Thon, TPFR members will tie and donate flies for use
by the wounded veterans in the Walter Reed chapter of PHW. They spend most
of their time on local warmwater locations and stocked trout streams with
handicap access, so the best flies are those that work for bass, bluegill
and stocked trout and can be easily cast, seen, and tied on. Al Warner
suggests the following flies: wooly buggers, gurglers, cress bugs, golden
retrievers, and squiggly worms--but others are fine. Feel free to tie flies
in advance and bring them as well.

We'll have a raffle featuring a 2 piece Sage Graphite III 9' 4wt, some fly
collections, a Smith hat, and maybe more prizes. All raffle proceeds will
go to Project Healing Waters.

This event will also serve as a kick-off party for the Tidal Potomac Slam
Tournament that's currently underway. Meet up with other participants and
give them the run around on locations, techniques, and equipment.

Look forward to seeing everyone out Monday!

We will be tying a grey/white Clouser to imitate the shiners feeding on shad eggs. Target species will be Mr. PajamaPants.

5wt favs!

abbie mcmullen <abbie.mcmullen@gmail.com>: Apr 04 04:41AM -0700

Ok, so I am considering getting myself a new 5wt. I current have a Redington Vice that I like ok. I have found that it can shoot line with the best of 'em, but the presentation just sucks! Maybe I just need to work on my casting but regardless I think I want something with a little bit softer feel but still enough backbone to toss a decent streamer. Does anyone have experience with Douglas or Loop rods? Thanks!

Bobby Davis <robert.davis.bd@gmail.com>: Apr 04 07:17AM -0700

I casted a loop rod once and it was one of the smoothest rods I've ever
casted.

Definitely cast a Douglas rod.

I really like older rods for this category (early graphite). There are
also a lot of good modern rods. Orvis superfine glass is one that comes to
mind, so is the Reddington Classic trout.
