That's awesome, Roxanne. Thanks for the details!

Hi Owen, we fished exclusively dries. I caught my two on ants. Ann caught hers on a caddis, I believe. We also saw lots of midges in the air, a green inchworm (on Kiki's hat) and a blue winged olive. We tried fishing the green weenie but failed to catch anything. I believe Kiki said 70 was a nice level. But I could be mis-remembering, so I'll be interested to hear what the group says, too!

Blue herons are always a good sign that you're fishing in the right spot.

I did have a question for the group--I know you've got to "fish it like you find it," but at what cfs is the Gunpowder "perfect" for you?

Best,
Owen

Fishing with Kiki, catching browns and seeing a great blue heron qualifies as a great day no matter what the river. Although with great blue herons,they are better seen than heard!

My friend Ann and I fished the Gunpowder today for the first time. guided by Kiki Galvin. It was a gorgeous day and although the water was "skinny" and only 34-35 cfs, I netted two nice sized browns. Maybe 8 and 9 inches? My friend was lucky, also, netting a little first year brown.
The fish were very active, rising and striking, and other anglers reported success netting fish too. We also saw a gorgeous blue heron. Great day, overall.

{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Rod repair and/or building

I have greatly enjoyed learning how to tie flies and build leaders. It not only has been a great hobby, but it has taught me a thing or two and certainly has helped me feel more confident when on the water (this confidence I speak of is almost certainly misplaced). After chatting with another fly fisherman on a local stream, I've become interested in repairing a old rod or building a rod from blanks. Do folks here have tips or advice for someone interested in learning a bit about rod repair/building? Repairing a old rod sounds particularly interesting, but I'm a newbie, so I'm unsure if repair is the best place to start.

Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} CASTING CHURCH - Sun 9 Oct

Thanks Regan and Owen! Hopefully putting my new and improved Snap T to good use shortly.

Great to see so many old friends, new faces, and so much improvement this morning. Thanks for coming out!

Tight lines for those who have trips booked in the coming days and weeks.

We will have our casting get together on Sunday, 9 Oct at Fletcher's Cove from 8am to 11am.

This Church will be free form, just working on whatever people would like.

Additionally, we will work on FFI Casting Skills challenges for anyone interested.

Unfortunately, I won't be in attendance. If the weather holds that it is, I should be in the lower Chesapeake Bay.

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, particularly for shad.
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.

{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Fished the Gunpowder today

My friend Ann and I fished the Gunpowder today for the first time. guided by Kiki Galvin. It was a gorgeous day and although the water was "skinny" and only 34-35 cfs, I netted two nice sized browns. Maybe 8 and 9 inches? My friend was lucky, also, netting a little first year brown.

The fish were very active, rising and striking, and other anglers reported success netting fish too. We also saw a gorgeous blue heron. Great day, overall.
