The Washington Metro area's original, and longest running angling show will be back in 2007, with an earlier date and new, larger, location, on February 24, at Bethesda-Chevy Chase High School, on East-West Highway, in Bethesda.

Speakers to Interest Everyone Our volunteers recently finalized the speaker's program, to be presented by nationally recognized experts, and cover topics for all interests and skill levels, from beginner to advanced.

Casting and Fly Tying Instruction and Demos As usual, we will have fly casting and fly tying clinics and demonstrations for everyone, from the beginner to the seasoned veteran.  A team of nationally recognized casting instructors will cover all the bases, including parent-child and ladies-only fly casting clinics. This year, we will have a special clinic taught by Lefty himself, and a spey casting clinic led by C.D. Clark.Our fly-tyers will be able to guide you through the process of dressing the hook, whether you've tied for years, or never. Other Attractions at the Original, Oldest Angling Show in the Nation's Capital Other popular activities will include bottle raffles, grand sweepstakes, silent auctions, and an author’s table, where you can peruse books written by the authors in attendance, and have them autographed. Additionally, you can enjoy browsing through all our other activities in an informal and low-pressure environment. Our exhibitors will include other conservation and angling organizations, fishing tackle & fly shops, guides, and State fishing agencies from whom you may buy your licenses in time for the new season. We Need Your Support! As always, the Angling Show is an all-volunteer effort. We need you to lend a hand, even if only for a couple of hours, to help us with the Show's organization. We have all sorts of tasks that need to get done, and won't get done without volunteers step up to make it all happen. You won't regret it. Other area shows have come and gone, please help keep alive oldest, the longest-running, the best, angling show in the Washington Metro area. Contact us by emailing contact@ncc-tu.org  < ...
