Here is a link to a great video that sums up the PHW Back Creek fishing experience for Veterans.

Our September 19th FFV Dinner speaker will be Captain Jeff Lewatowski. Jeff has over 11 years of guiding experience on waters all over the United States. Much of his time is spent fishing in and along the Chesapeake Bay and tributaries in Maryland. He also fishes Maryland’s coastal and inshore Atlantic waters out of Ocean City, and runs some excellent guided and instructional stream trips for trout along the beautiful Gunpowder River and other Maryland streams.

His afternoon session will focus on fishing the Susquehanna river’s ‘Flats’ section and the evening dinner presentation will be on fishing the Gunpowder river in Maryland.

Special Afternoon Session

5 to 6 PM at the Salisbury Country Club

You don’t want to miss our July Dinner meeting!

Our speaker will be…

 Captain Paul Rose.

Paul’s evening dinner presentation will focus on ‘Carp on the fly’. We have not had Carp as a topic for a dinner meeting in the past so this should be very interesting and informative.

Paul will also hold an afternoon session on ‘fly fishing for redfish’.

More info to come…

Excerpt from Paul’s web site…

My name is Paul Rose, licensed fishing guide and USCG Captain. I am a proud ,active member of both CCA and FFF. Flyfishing for more than 25 years, my experience started in western PA fishing rivers and streams for trout and bass. As a Pittsburgh native it is OK to associate me with Steeler football, Mario Lemieux and a Permanti’s sandwich.

After my anesthesia training (pays the bills, refer to children below), I relocated to Austin, TX and became a longhorn fan and a saltwater junkie on the famed TX coast. Starting out with a tunnel jon boat with the highest platform you ever saw, I learned to saltwater flyfish. The passion still burns bright as ever, but the boat has been upgraded a bit to Hells Bay Waterman.

Three children later (all girls and all can flyfish), I moved back east to Charlotte, NC to be closer to family and friends.

Four years ago I decided to combine all of my experiences with some new ones from the Carolinas to create a quality guide service.
This service is dedicated to teaching and to customer service. That’s a guarantee along with hard fishing and hard guiding. In fact I never even wear a watch on the water. When you’re satisfied we can go home.

While the service offers a variety of trips, I am a warm water specialist particularly enjoying carp and bass on the fly, not to mention trout and redfish.

Remember this date – May 11, 2013!

Why?

It’s the Brotherhood of the Junglecock VA Chapter Campfire!

Why should you care?

It’s the FFV Youth Event the club supports.

How do you help?

You can come and bring a child. Now I know the
usual excuse – my children are grown—–but don’t you know a child in
your neighborhood or church that would love to have a day of fishing?
Bring them!!! You don’t have to do all the work–we have instructors
there to help.

This year we will return to Camp Brady Saunders Saturday, May 11,
2013. Our program will include fly tying, fly casting, fly fishing, spin
fishing, bait fishing, knot tying, lure identification and – last but not least
– an environmental aquatic program. After the Campfire ceremony,
there will be an excellent dinner served by Joanna Barnes and a raffle
where each child wins a prize.

When you leave at the end of the day you might be smiling as much as
the child — don’t forget that if we don’t teach children how to fish the
sport will die!
