Spent about an hour on this last night. You can view aerial photographs of Fairfax County going back to 1937. I've been scanning the Reston area looking at how the lakes were built and all of the spots I've fished over the years. Have fun.
Fascinating stuff. Not sure if your counties offer this.

Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Canada or US DIY northern pike on the fly.....
There's a stable northern pike population in Lake Frederick near Front Royal. People posting on the FB page for the bait shop there catch a few year including a couple of the pier. I've even seen one caught myself in person. They seem to be present and catchable but not super abundant. I took a couple DIY shots on sinking line out of my kayak with no luck 9-10 years ago.

We can meet at Beer Tie in the future if you're interested in putting a trip together. I also saw some at Motts Run Reservoir near Fredricksburg, the state record is from there, but that was literal decades ago.

- Updates from the TPFR Board - 1 Update
| Misha Gill <misha4455@gmail.com>: Nov 03 12:56PM -0800 Hello everybody, *Please be sure to read to the end to see my request for important membership survey responses* *Announcement* Recently, the TPFR Board of Directors voted to appoint me (Misha Gill) as President of TPFR. I'm thrilled to take on the leadership of this wonderful organization which I treasure, and which has been my "fishing home" for at least a decade now. I would like to take this opportunity to recognize and offer our sincere thanks to Mr. Regan Burmeister for his years of dedication to the club and his capable steering of the club's business through COVID and beyond. I'm sure I speak for all of us and say that we are all very grateful for your contributions, Regan! The board of directors is presently: Misha Gill Ryan McCarron Brook Rolter Owen Williams Miles Townes Rob Snowhite Daniel Lazenby Mark Sofman Thank you to the Board of Directors for your ongoing service to the club! If you are interested in volunteering or being on the board of directors, don't miss the form response box in the form below. We would welcome your participation. *MEMBERSHIP SURVEY* As incoming president, I am interested in collecting data on the way in which we can improve the club experience for all of us. My main goal is to increase attendance at casting church and beer tie, so that TPFR continues to serve as a community hub for all the colorful fishing personalities in our area. I'll never lose sight of the fact that the goal is to have fun, and my thought here is just, the more the merrier. *To that end, please consider completing the following survey to provide your feedback for how we can improve the club experience. *There are some very important topics on there, like merchandise, venue for beer tie, "commercial activity" during club events, preferred platform for club discussions, should beer tie be pinned to casting church, etc. Please find and navigate to the form submission link below: TPFR MEMBER SURVEY <https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdyJwuosOR8a_94osh-_ON9Yoj0Ydt_X0Xw9_RFM55rWY3cHA/viewform?usp=dialog> Your responses will help shape the future direction of the club. The board has a meeting in one week, and we will review the initial responses then, so get your responses in early to have a disproportionately large impact on our impressions for the direction we should take the club. We will close the survey for the board meeting on December 8th. Thank you in advance, and I look forward to serving the club's membership. See you at beer tie, casting church, or on the water. -Misha Gill |

Salmon, lost several, held a few. Trout are all around...except the lower river sections where salmon and steelies eat them.

Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Updates from the TPFR Board
Hey Misha,
Been meaning to link up with you. I've moved to Virginia Beach and I'm sure there are more local TPFR members that can devote more time than I can at this time.
Thanks and hope you're doing well. Good luck
