New Members!

[Peter Walsh]

Good morning and Happy Holidays!

I am a (soon to be) new member of the Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders. I was able to join the form but it looks like the link to register on the Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders website is down. Could someone please let me know what I need to do to officially join?

I am Peter Walsh and a resident of Arlington, VA. Recently my Girlfriend and I had a guided trip in Forks, WA and fell in love with fly fishing (we had great success!). I have been an avid spin fisher for many years but this is Rachels first foray in to the world of fishing. 

For Christmas this year we gifted each other waders and rods. We are excited to go to casting church and dial in our casts.

Looking forward to meeting folks!

Best, 
Peter Walsh

Welcome, Peter! 

We'll look forward to having you at Casting Church on the second Sunday of every month. We convene from 8 to 11:30 in the far end of the lower parking lot at Fletcher's Boathouse near Georgetown. 

Waders are optional for Casting Church (but they do keep you warmer and drier) unless you are joining Regan in the Potomac for two-hand casting work, in which case waders are required. Otherwise we cast on the grass. 

Another pillar of TPFR is the Beer Tie, which occurs (usually) on the Monday after Casting Church at The Colony Grill in Clarendon. We meet upstairs to tie flies that are appropriate for local species and conditions. Or feel free to join an intermediate or advanced table to learn other techniques for fishing farther afield. 

Do reach out with any questions. 

Best, 

Owen Williams
