Our Nation’s Capital Has A Secret. And It’s Dirtier Than You Can Possibly Imagine.

“Fishing is like sex in that it can be anywhere from deeply meaningful to just plain fun to participate in, but it’s oddly boring to watch in videos.” —John Gierach.We’ll see about that. A group of fly fishermen are breaking their silence on the best kept secret in D.C.


If you’d like to learn more about fly fishing, tweet me, and I promise to “hook” you up. If you’re lucky enough to live in Washington, D.C., or plan to visit, stop by Fletcher’s Boat House to experience the Potomac — rent a row boat, grab a fishing pole, ride a bike. It’s awesome. George Washington himself “fished the shad” and they’ll be around til June for you to catch and release.
