Welcome to flyfishing. Pond fishing is a good way to start. Just need some small poppers that you can sometimes buy at Dicks. Check google maps to locate a pond near you. The big lakes are also good. Some of the ponds may cool faster than the bigger lakes so the lakes will fish longer into the fall.
You might also check out the Seneca Valley Chapter of Trout Unlimited. We have a certified FFF casting instructor (Dave Cleaves) who gives free casting lessons on the first Sat of every month at the lake in Great Seneca State Park off Clopper Rd. Check the chapter website or mail me. Park at the big playground and then walk down to the lake. you cant see the casting until well down the path approaching the water.
thanks.

--Hello all. I am brand new to fly fishing and have very limited fishing experience. I am very interested in learning the art of fly fishing. Trent at Orvis in Bethesda let me know about this group.
I purchased a wild water 5/6 starter kit which came with 5 weight line. I have practiced a couple of times in the yard. Unfortunately the tip section of the rod broke without cause, but the company quickly agreed to replace it for free. So, back to my learning, I was hoping to get some tips on some good places near Rockville where I could practice on the water. I am looking at going up to the gunpowder River in October, but would like some familiarity with my rod and reel. Thanks and I look forward to read all your exploits!
