Trip to Washington

As I expected it was not too much fishing during this trip in Washington and Baltimore. A big surprise was in Washington when in our way to the meeting we met some people that actually were fishing in the Potomac River in the middle of the city. I took this picture from the car near to the Lincoln memorial. Obviously he was heading to have some afternoon fun.

There is no trip to USA without a visit to the Pro Bass Shop. I really like this shop. We went to the Pro Bass Shop at the Arundel Mills Circle Hanover, a one hour drive from Baltimore and as usual, it is always fun to do some shopping here.

I took a couple of pictures of the fishes from the aquarium, the northern pike was quite impressive and of course I’ve checked again my favourite Remington G3 semiautomatic shotgun. It has a perfect weight balance and a barrel length that gives you the perfect steadiness and facile movement.But let’s not continue with this because this is supposed to be a fishing blog and not a hunting blog.

Actually in Washington there are fishes. Some of them are quite old, like the ones that captured on my camera from the National History Museum. They are 50 millions years old and came from the intermountain basins of the Rockies and the lakes that covered during that time the north-eastern Utah, north-eastern Colorado and south-western Wyoming. In September 2008 next year I need to go to Salt Lake City in Utah and definitely I will not miss the possibility to check out the ancestors of these fishes.
On our way back to the airport we took the wrong exit and we ended up in a wrong direction. On top of that the GPS simply did not want to work anymore. Ironically the GPS name was “Never Lost”. However we have managed to find the right direction but on our detour from the main route, I found a small fly fishing shop called “Angle’s Lie”. I found this name extremely funny. Here it is the picture of the fishing shop.
