{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} March Casting Church - a change

Our March casting meeting will be on Sunday the 15th of March, not the usual expected 8th (the 2nd Sun of the month).

We will meet at the usual time, 8am, at Fletcher's, but at the boathouse this time.

As shad season will be almost started, and like we did last year, we are going to focus the church on casting and fishing for shad in the Potomac from the Maryland side.

We will discuss lines and rods and how to cast them. We will discuss flies and rigging. We we will discuss presentations. We will walk upstream from the boathouse and explore where you can cast from the bank to fish for shad. We will fish for shad, there might be a few there at that time.

Note that this is not a guided trip, just individuals sharing their knowledge and experience.

You will need a DC license.  Bring your fishing gear. The shad run a little deep, so sink tips (10ft or so, fast sinking) or sinking lines are very helpful. A 6wt to 8wt rod can cast the heavier sinking lines. The instructors will have gear.

Expect mud and water to step thru, so waders and boots are helpful but not required. It is illegal to fully wade.

This change, just for March, is due to many of the instructors attending an FFI continuing education event during the Lancaster Fly Fishing show that weekend of 7th and 8th.
