​Andrew Reichardt
​President

Andrew is the President of NCC-TU. A D.C area native, he attended Georgetown University here in our Nation's Capital and has been plying the waters of the Mid-Atlantic since he swapped his golf clubs for a fly rod several years ago.
​
Whether "blue-lining" for native brook trout in Shenandoah National Park, pursuing wild trout on the limestone creeks of Southern Pennsylvania or running his fishing raft on the rivers of Western Maryland, he can be found most weekends chasing after one of the many freshwater species that call our area home. 

A graduate of the National Outdoor Leadership School in Wyoming and Sweetwater Guide School in Montana, Andrew is a TU Life Member, FFI Certified Casting Instructor and is excited about the opportunity to lead the Chapter.

Mark Binsted
Vice-President

Mark is the Vice-President of NCC-TU. Mark describes himself as an architect and a river rat, not necessarily in that order. He has fished out of Fletcher’s Cove since he was a teenager in the late 1960’s, and would later share his love of the river with three sons. Mark still lives along the Potomac in the Palisades neighborhood neighborhood within sight of the Cove. Alex, his oldest, returned to the river after college and became the manager of Fletcher’s Boathouse in 2017. Over the past decade Mark has enjoyed writing and speaking for NCC-TU about his favorite obsession, the Potomac shad run. He is also a founding member of Friends of Fletcher's Cove, a group of volunteers that is working to preserve public river access at this vital location.

Lynn Scholz
​Secretary

Lynn is the Secretary and Membership Coordinator  for NCC-TU. She started fly-fishing at the age of five and joined The National Capital Chapter in 1971 to learn where to fish when she moved to DC after completing graduate school at the University of Pennsylvania. After a career serving as the budget director of the DC City Council she retired to help raise stepchildren and to renovate a home in the Palisades DC. Later she served as the publications associate at the American Astronomical Society.

Lynn is a avid and lifelong saltwater fly angler. She and her husband spend winters in the Florida Keys fishing in Florida Bay and the Everglades. In the summer and fall they hunt false albacore and striped bass along the New England coast and smallmouth bass in the Potomac.
​
Lynn was a beekeeper for 20 years in DC and is an Arlington Master Naturalist. 

Don Hinds
​Treasurer

Don is the Treasurer of NCC-TU. While growing up in Indiana, Don learned to fish on local waters and during family vacations in Minnesota.  Don started fly fishing over 25 years ago during a trip to Yellowstone National Park, where he was also introduced to the local grizzly bear population. His favorite places to trout fish are in Western Maryland, North-Central Pennsylvania and the Driftless Area in Wisconsin. He also enjoys shad fishing on the Potomac and bass fishing on the Susquehanna.
​
​Don and his wife Judy live in Bethesda.
