Dan Davala, fishing manager of the Orvis Arlington (Virginia) store, started the Tidal Potomac chapter of Federation of FlyFishers and hosts numerous chapter events, including these free fly-tying sessions held at a local Irish pub named Ri Ra. Members of TPFR (and anyone else interested) gather to learn new patterns, share their love of fly fishing, and enjoy a good brew. To find out when the next event will be held, visit the TPFR Events page.
