TPFR’ers, I saw this interesting post: https://news.orvis.com/fly-fishing/meet-the-recipient-of-the-2019-orvis-breaking-barriers-award. It got me thinking about outreach here in the DC area. Does TPFR have any youth fishing days planned?

 

I’ve always felt like it’s a shame fly fishing seems to attract a fairly non-diverse crowd (namely middle-aged white guys like me).

Interesting question. All of the youth fishing days I've assisted were ran by local community parks and recreation with Zebco spin casting gear and recently stocked runs. Maybe TPFR could team up with a local community (Herndon, Vienna, Fairfax, Reston, etc) and offer something. Not sure fly casting would fit the current runs being used. I'd like to think communities have access to ponds with enough clearance for fly casting.

Ive got a cub scout group that is looking to learn to fly fish on June 8th from 8am to 10am at Cook Lake in Alexandria.

I could use some volunteers if anyone is interested.

Art,

Drop me a note closer to the event date if you still want help.  My schedule is in flux right now.
