Greetings to all of my Beloved TPFRers!!!

First, I want to say HAPPY BIRTHDAY to the club (belated by one day anyway). April 1 officially marked 9 YEARS since the club was founded!!! I also want to thank all of you for keeping it alive and going so strong!!! I still get my daily dose of TPFR threads via email, and I continue to live and fish the Nation's River vicariously through you all every day! Please know how truly proud I am of you and of what you have made the club. It makes me smile so big every time I see another new poster looking for info, and that info being provided in such a positive, knowledgeable, and welcoming way. Well done to you all!!

The other thing I wanted to mention is I'm HEADING YOUR WAY!!! I need to be at the Orvis Guide Rendezvous in Asheville, NC next week, so rather than flying there, Melody and I decided to load up the kids and road-trip it instead! We'll only be in the area be for a super narrow window of time, but of course it means an opportunity to hit Fletcher's and catch some Shad along the way! So, just a heads up that I plan to be there Saturday from around 6AM to 12PM or so. After that I'll likely swing by my old shop just to say hey to a few folks before heading farther South. We plan to be in Richmond that night, and then on to NC the next day. It will be awesome to see some of you on the River if you're out there. I so wish I could make it to BEER TIE on Monday, but my duties start on Tuesday in Asheville, so I'll have to miss it. Someday soon though!

Anyway, I just wanted to give you all a heads up, and I look forward to seeing some of you on Saturday, like old times!!

All the Very Best,

Dan

OH - and I took up Skateboarding again!! It's my much needed creative outlet from all the stresses of fly fishing!

That's awesome, Dan, and sweet moves on the mini-ramp.

I'll be on the water Saturday morning, so maybe I'll run into you.

Mark, I was up there this past weekend. Check water levels before you go. The only place worth fishing was the NB of the Potomac at Barnum. All the other streams including the Savage were to high. I managed 2 nice browns on the NB.

Thanks for intel, Terry. Heading to a Sherman Creek trib in Tuscarora State Forest, NW of Carlisle. In pursuit of mostly brookies and maybe some browns

Expect to be far enough upstream that the precip won't be an issue.
