    Outings Scheduled
    Saturday, May 31, 2008

    The chapter will be sponsoring a trout fishing trip to the George Washington National Forest (GWNF) in western Virginia on Saturday May 31st. We’ll be hiring a professional guide from Mossy Creek Fly Fishing in Harrisonburg, VA. We will be fishing for brook trout in the streams of the forest, so this is a wading trip.

    This outing is limited to four members of the National Capital Chapter. Anglers of all skill levels are welcome. The group will depart from the Washington area at 6:00am and the drive together to the GWNF to meet our guide. Expect a full day of fishing and getting back around 10:00p.

    The cost of the trip is $93 for the guide. This price includes your lunch. You will also need a Virginia freshwater fishing license and permit for fishing in the GWNF. Both can be purchased online at the Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries.

    Interested participants should contact Brian Durkin by phone at (301) 341-3575 as soon as possible.

    Here is a list of recommended equipment to bring:

    Waders, hip or chest
    Boots
    Fly Rod 2-6 wt.
    Assortment of wet and dry flies
    5x, 6x, 7x tippets
