In about five months we will be inundated with cicadas. What are your fishing plans for this event? The wife is still horrified when I stopped at a 7-11 for a slurpee in 2004 and a cicada flew through the car window and landed on her. Unlike her I am looking forward to the cicadas.

Where will you fish?

What will you fish for?

What is your favorite pattern? I like this cicada tied with evazote foam.

{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Casting Church, 10 Jan 2021

We will have our casting get together on Sunday, 10 Jan at Fletcher's Cove from 8am to 11am.

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 have a casting station for those who want to begin to pursue the FFI Casting Challenges program (see FFI website). This is a fun and low-key way to improve skills and get recognized by FFI and your peers for your achievements. It is a good way to also set the stage for eventual pursuit of Casting Instructor (CI) certification, if you are interested in that pursuit.

And, because we didn't get to it last month, we will have a station to focus on distance AND accuracy. It is one thing to cast far, it is another to cast far accurately. This will build on the fundamentals we have worked on during the last several meetings.

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.

Just wait 'til you turn 65 - you won't need a license at all!

I admit to being lazy today. Is the over 65 for just DC residents or us
out of states as well?

tperkins <thomas.perkins1@gmail.com>: Jan 05 08:17AM -0800

I've only been checked twice, and it happened on the same day! In February
at the Tidal Basin, go figure. In terms of the cost to fish caught ratio,
if you fish the shad run once on a good day, it probably has is the best
deal out there!

Daniel Lazenby <dlazenby4@gmail.com>: Jan 05 03:24PM -0500

As weird as it sounds, yes. It was the same for out of state (Virginia in
my case) when I became eligible a few years ago.
