Where Should You Fish During Quarantine?
/Activities During Quarantine
Let's face it - you're trying to figure out what to do now just like the rest of us. You've binge watched shows about a tiger man, learned how to bake sourdough, and have a master's degree in homemade hand sanitizer. You're wondering where to fish, where to hike, if you'll bring a friend or if you'll run into other people, and how will you practice real social distancing when everyone else in the DC metro area is doing the same thing?
With Shenandoah National Park closed, Maryland catch & release streams being off limits, access along the Potomac limited, closed boat launches, and all of your favorite and familiar fishing locations being crowded out, what are your options?
We're here to help you find things you'll love to do when it feels like you've been home long enough to need some time off for good behavior.
Check out Grizzly as he helps you figure out how to find a new favorite out of the way fishing spot by using information, technology, and your head to follow your own blue lines with our 3 part series on YouTube - An Introduction To Blue Lining.
In Part 2 and Part 3, District Angling ambassadors Lukas & Iggy Draugelis teach you about the gear, flies, techniques, and other tools they use to catch wild trout on those same blue lines from the previous video. See what happens when research, planning, and action come together to create great adventures off the beaten path.
Want to do your own research, keep track of where you've fished, and plan an adventure? We have a great selection of publications including the Delorme Atlas, guide books to the Washington DC metro area, Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, the mid-Atlantic, West Virginia, and the Rappahannock River.
Long drives to the river and marathon fly tying sessions are no longer monotonous and boring with our 8+ hour long music playlist! We asked every single employee, staff member, ambassador, fly tyer, and partner here at District Angling for 3 songs to add to a playlist just for you. No more boring trips around the Beltway!

Before the age of the internet, smart phones, and social media, people used to walk to magical places called libraries or bookstores to pick up hard bound and softcover copies of entertaining, informative, and thought provoking musings, commentary, and instruction. There is no better time to throw your feet up and read some fresh print in front of a window under the soft spring daylight.
It just so happens that we continue to keep an active fly fishing library in the shop with some new as well as classic literature for the angler interested in piscatorial pursuits with the long rod. From Geirach to Gelso, we got the goods in our Book section.
