No tips????

Thanks for sharing this with us, Rob! We're glad to hear that you're making memories.

Took my 15yo and her friend to the Burke Lake Dam today for about an hour. Lost count of fish. With minimal instruction her friend was into fish. Casting a few inches from shore to about 5’ out they landed bluegill and green sunfish until we lost count. Poppers with worm droppers and small Chernobyl’s like I tied at June Beer Tie. All in 5 wt rods.

Most of the casting was done from trail to allow us to sight cast with the height advantage. No one complained about the heat.

They didn’t tip me.

Don’t forget your free Slurpee today.

Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Chesapeake Bay Red Drum Guide

Jonathan is great! He’s gotten me on Potomac River muskie in the past.

The Reds are generally travelling in a big school so if you find them its epic.

I am looking for recommendations for a fly fishing guide on the Chesapeake Bay to target Red Drum and Cobia.

If you have any suggestions or preferred guides you have worked with in the past, I would greatly appreciate your input.

Thanks,

Hi Owen,
I hope all is well. Is this open to everyone or just targeted to women?  No worries either way.  I'm just checking and am thinking of finding an alternative if it's not.  Thanks in advance.

Come join TPFR and the Chesapeake Women Anglers for a Casting Church ON THE WATER followed by a fun day of fishing.

Meet at Devilbiss Bridge on the Monocacy (N of Frederick, MD) from 9 a.m. on Sunday, July 12.

Street address for the meet-up is

8276 Devilbiss Bridge Road
Walkersville, MD 21793

While this event is open to all levels, it is a really good opportunity for beginners. The Monocacy River is wide open at this point and the wading is fairly easy, but with some places with cobblestone, so it's a good idea to bring your wading staff.

After our casting tune-up, we will be targeting Bluegill and Bass, so bring flies for those species. The suggested rod weight is 4, 5, or 6 to cast the flies sized for your target species. And don't forget your Maryland Department of Natural Resources Fisheries freshwater fishing license

Please reach out with any questions!
