There is a small craft advisory so I will not be launching into the Severn unfortunately. I'll stay in the DC area and launch from Gravelly.

Hey Wesley,

I will be out of town this weekend but would definitely be interested in getting together at some point to go fishing. I do not own a kayak, but live in the area and fairly new to fly fishing. Let me know if you ever want to get together.

Hello All,

I was wondering is anyone was open to kayak fish the Severn River this saturday 10/10. I mostly lurk on here for info. I'll have an 8 wt rod and fish 2 clousers but I also plan to spin fish with a swimming jig. I kayak in an Oru Beach LT kayak, and so far it has worked wonderfully.

Any tips for success? I have had success putting a 7ips sinking leader on my floating line. It is easy to cast and to mend in the water while letting me drop a fly deep.

A little bit about myself, I moved to DC 2 years ago after college. I work as a wastewater engineer and as a guardsmen in the PA guard

Thanks!

Wes

Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Casting Church, Sunday, 11 Oct

Hate I won't be able to make it this weekend. Thanks for doing this once again. It's always a great way to meet people and everyone is a huge help.

We will have our casting get together on Sunday, 11 Oct at Fletcher's Cove from 8am to 11am.

We are going to focus on tight loops using a couple exercise:
1) Tight loop, shooting thru a hoop
2) Shooting line on the backcast (long distance back casting)

We will also help anyone with any particular casting issues. Bring your questions. We will have some extra gear, no need to buy anything. If you are curious about flyfishing/flycasting and are wanting to see what it is about, come on by.

We will practice social distance. Pretty easy to do since we are outside. And since we are all holding fly-rods and moving them around, this separation tends to work out naturally.
However, if you are ill or suspect you might be, please respect the health of others and rest up at home. There will be other casting churches, once a month at least.

Come on out, whether you are a novice, intermediate, or advanced caster, it is all fun to work on solving casting problems and casting challenges.
If you are just getting started, this is a great way to meet people who can help. There will be casting instructors on hand.
If you are preparing for an upcoming trip and looking to re-fresh your casting skills, this is a great opportunity.

If you want to wade, just come prepared. We work on casting on the grass fields and in the water, both single-hand and two-hand casting.

See you there,

Regan
