Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders, a charter branch of Fly Fishers International, holds monthly casting clinics in Georgetown (D.C.) on the second Sunday of each month. I have known of this for well over a year; until today I had been to exactly zero of these. I went to Church this past Sunday morning, and found it exceedingly useful. Getting feedback from a certified casting instructor, who could observe from a neutral position, and tell me exactly what they were seeing with my mechanics was pretty awesome.

Noting here that the Potomac was browned out with the recent rains, running muddy as hell and tons of woody debris in the currents. Stream guage at the Little Falls Pump Station marked it at 5.6ft and it has risen all day. I would speculate 4.5ft as the maximum viable wading conditions on the river.
