Fly Fishing Flea Market

Fly Fishing Flea Market - March 15th Chapter Meeting

The Potomac-Patuxent Chapter of TU is stepping away from our normal speaker meeting this month and hosting a "Flea Market" the evening of March 15th from 7-9pm. Since folks are just starting to dust off their gear and may be in the need of a few things, this will be a great opportunity to pick up some new and gently used gear at a great price. Lots of great stuff for you, your children, or maybe that grandchild you were going to take fly fishing.

Need a new reel? Maybe a backup reel? As an example, there will be 2 brand new fly reels on the table for $20 each! How can you beat that? Yes, there are a few antiques as well if you're into collecting or want to fish some retro gear. Additionally, there will be a "Super Bucket Raffle" with chances to win some outstanding new gear offered by the chapter. Purchase tickets and place one or more in the bucket that corresponds to the item.  We will draw those winners about 8:30 pm.

Come early! Prices are often negotiable with the sellers. Pass the word around! This event is open to all. Tell your friends and post it on social media. The more the merrier. The list of goods is getting bigger all the time.

Location:
Margaret Schweinhaut Senior Center, 1000 Forest Glen Road, Silver Spring, MD

Hope to see you there!

Tight Lines,
Bob O'Donnell
