Good news! Tom found the keys and returned them to the great guys at the Fletcher's rental stand, where Case picked them up.

It was great to see so many instructors and casters out today. Looking forward to seeing everyone at the next Casting Church in August.

Best,
Owen

{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Smallmouth near Fletchers?

From a Kayak mind you, but i have had some luck on the far VA shore of the fletchers where its the widest. there is a deep gravelly channel there along the shore. 10' deep or so. I was just drifting tubes and neds rigs on spinning gear and got a bunch. Have no idea about how to get down there from shore though. They are in there for sure. Some big ones

too if you can find them. The currents sure can make it a challenge to fish though.

Anyone fish for smallmouth in the Chain Bridge to below-Fletchers area -- from shore?

Obviously no wading in this stretch. My impression is that the Virginia side may be the better area for smallmouth, but I've never tried to fish from shore there.I know there's a trail that runs along the river (Potomac Heritage?), but I'm not quite sure where you can access it.

Plus, it doesn't look like there's any room for a backcast on most of the shoreline, even for spin fishermen. Maybe good Skagit casters can get a decent cast off?

Definitely not looking for any secrets -- just that I wish someone would dissuade me from even bothering if they know it ain't gonna be worth the trouble...

{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Casting Church, 11 July 2021

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

We will 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.

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.

And I will be there myself unlike last time.

Regan

Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Korkers boot repair?

Thanks, Andrew.

I like the idea of Korkers being able to switch from studded to not studded so easily. I thought the mechanism holding on the sole would fail before what should be a fairly basic boot function.

I find the Boa system doesn't allow me to make it tighter where I want and looser where I want — if you want it tight at the ankle you also have to crank down on the instep.

Oh well, things to inform my purchase of new boots.

Cheers,

My Korkers did the same thing - actually, one shoe had the sidewall blowout, the other had the entire bottom of the shoe (not just the removable sole, but the whole thing) separate from the rest of the boot. On the same day, while on a set of rocks well upstream from Fletchers. Not a fun walk back to the car.

Did not attempt a repair - threw them promptly in the trash and bought a different style boot. I like the Boa system, but not enough to risk that again.
