Hi All–Lets support Beau Beasley at Virginia Fly Fishing Festival in Waynesboro from 9am-5pm Saturday & Sunday.
Fly anglers from across the country will celebrate the 11th Annual Virginia Fly Fishing Festival on April 16-17, 2011. Held on the banks of the South River in Waynesboro, the Virginia Fly Fishing Festival is the largest outdoor fly fishing event in the country that offers on-stream instruction. Only here can you learn all the latest techniques from the experts and then walk right over to the river and try them for yourself.

Brian Shumaker, Mike Smith, Eric Stroup, Gordon English, Colby Trow, Tom Brtalik, Bryan Kelly, Paul Rouse, and festival artist Maurice Mahler.

On Wednesday, April 6, 2011 Rapidan TU meeting was called to order by Rob Paul/President at 7:30pm at Sun Trust bank in Warrenton. There were 23 people present.
After introductions around the room, Marcia Woolman gave presentation on: “Yellowstone–Conservation & Fishing”. The stocked brown & rainbow trout of the late 1800′s in/near Yellowstone National Park are interbreeding with the native cutthroat trout and creating big challenges. Lake trout were also detected in Yellowstone lake and are not compatible with the cutthroats. In addition, whirling disease has been detected in several tributaries of Yellowstone lake, further reducing cutthroat populations. Marcia’s photography was outstanding! Marcia is also looking for 3 Rapidan members for Montana fishing trip about the first week of September to pair up with 2 NSV TU members. Read more »
