Just a heads up that a full service fly fishing shop is coming back to the DC/MD/NVA region. District Angling will be located in the Cherrydale neighborhood of Arlington, Virginia. Right up the street from the original Angler's Lie for those who remember that old home away from home.
In addition to the major brands of graphite rods, reels, lines etc., we will be carrying fiberglass and bamboo rods both new (from boutique makers) and used, lines designed for glass and cane, and new and used reels for the same.
We will also be looking to carry more and more items from smaller manufacturers as we grow. In other words we won't just be carrying the same old same old.
A very large fly tying department should satisfy all the area tyers who like picking out their own materials instead of leaving that to "online" chance. For those who don't tie, the in stock selection of flies will have you covered. Flies from major producers and custom tiers will be available.
Tying classes, casting lessons, guided trips, and travel services will all be here at District Angling.
Community outreach and participation with clubs and youth groups will also be a big part of District Angling.
We are looking at opening sometime in September. You can find us online at our website
http://districtangling.com/ (it's in flux as it's being built out), or search for district angling on Facebook and Instagram. We will be posting photos and news of the buildout as we progress.
One step done and another begun...light cams in, track for wall lighting in, wall patching begun.
Cheers, Bob Smith
