{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} UPDATE - 4MR All Abilities Kayak Launch

Morning, TPFR FFI Charter Chapter and Forum members.

It seems so long ago that our TPFR chapter sponsored fundraising for the Four Mile Run All Abilities Kayak Launch. The Launch is where 3700 Commonwealth Avenue meets the Four Mile Run stream. Despite spring rains and high-water events, construction began in March. The supporting pilings are in, the access ramp foundation has been laid, and the Launch floats are now deployed and in place. It is scheduled for completion (weather permitting) later this month or next.

There are several 4MR Kayak Clean-ups scheduled for October. See this link for dates and contact the Four Mile Run Conservatory Foundation to participate. If you choose to participate, please let them know you are a TPFR member.

Daniel

{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Mark your calendars for TPFR events in September!

Just a reminder that the TPFR monthly Beer TIe at Colony Grill is tonight! The materials list for the "Gravity Minnow" is above.

Tying starts at 7 p.m.; Board meeting at 6 p.m.

Our Casting Church and Beer Tie will be held on Sunday and Monday, September 14 and 15.

Casting Church is held on the second Sunday of each month at the far end of Fletcher's Cove lower parking lot from 8-11 a.m. It's a great way to work with more experienced casters to hone your technique whether you are working on a basic Pick Up, Lay Down cast, shooting ten more feet of line, or double-hauling to hit 70+ for your next trip to Belize.

The Beer Tie is always the Monday following Casting Church. It starts at 7 p.m. at Colony Grill in Clarendon. Rob Snowhite (@robsnowhite) of the Fly Fishing Consultant Podcast typically leads a table for those new or newer to tying.

In September, Brian Bennett of ViceFishingCo ties the Gravity Minnow (pics attached) for intermediate tiers.

Its materials recipe is

• Gamakatsu SL12s Short 1/0 hook

• Med Lead Dumbbell Eyes

• Craft Fur

• 3" EP Craft Fur Brush

• 1.5" EP Minnow Head Brush

Please reach out with any questions.
