Potomac Valley Fly Fishers



Potomac Valley Fly Fishers Goals

(1) To promote fly fishing as a sport, an enjoyable way of fishing, and the most consistent with the preservation and wise use of our resources

(2) To provide advice, suggestions and assistance to club members

(3) To publicize the best practices and techniques of fly fishing, fly tying, fly casting and other related subjects and

(4) To maintain liaison with other organizations of sportsmen and conservationists.

You don't have to know how to fly fish, just have the enthusiasm. We are a group who get together and talk about fly fishing and plan trips. Experience is not necessary. It's the enjoyment of the outdoors, conservation and fishing. Our meetings last approximately an hour and a half.

The Potomac Valley Fly Fishers meets the 2nd Tuesday of every month (except July and August) from 7pm to 9pm.
Our meetings are held at Tuscarora High School, Frederick, Md.

Getting started, Loan a rod Program
The club has several 5-weight 7 1/2 foot fly rod and reel combs and 1 8-weight 9-foot fly rod combo available to check out and use. This program, started last year, was designed to give the young members of the club a chance to use a rod that is a bit shorter and youth friendly. We have 5 combos and anyone interested in checking one out please see Jon Thames The rods are available now for the upcoming season on a first come basis.
The 8 weight is ideal for any member wishing to try a larger rod on the Bay or any of the larger waters in the area. This rod is normally checked out for 1 or 2 weeks at a time to allow more members a chance to use it.
See Lou Stohlman or call 301-834-7412.
