>Hi, all. I'm hoping to get an old fashioned hook-and-line fishing trip
>together for this Sunday, along the Potomac River, along River road.
>
>Fish photographers are more than welcome. There's a sizeable population of
>longear sunfish at Pennyfield Lock in the C&O canal. These are a beautiful
>little fish--especially spawning males.
>
>Perhaps we can also tie into a smallmouth bass or two in the Potomac River.

>Opportunities for traditional collecting will be fewer, however, as it's
>illegal to collect on National Park Service land without a permit (although
>you can angle there with a fishing lisence.) A couple of streams cross the
>River Road on their way to the Potomac; perhaps we can stop at one of them.
> Rainbow darters are reputed to inhabit Muddy Branch (although I didn't
>find any the last time I collected there.)
>
>If anyone doesn't have a lisence, we can arrange to meet at either Sports
>Authority, or Galyans, which are (roughly) on the way.
>
>This isn't an official NANFA sponsored trip, by the way, just an outing of
>local fish heads, as I haven't had a chance to do a mailing for members who
>are not on e-mail. Neither the club nor myself assumes any responsibility
>for lost property or personal injury.
>
>I hope to have more details later in the week, after I gauge the level of
>interest. Please respond to me off list.

>Also, I don't happen to have the PVAS address in my new computer. I'd
>appreciate it if someone could forward this to the PVAS list.
