This month PPTU is excited to host Rob Lepczyk from Great Feathers Fly Shop on Wednesday, May 20th.

Rob was born and raised in northern Baltimore County growing up fishing his local cold water and warm water fisheries, for brown trout, large and small mouth bass, as well as carp and shad.  Rob has been fly fishing and shooting since he could walk and tying flies since he was eleven.  He has also traveled North America fishing and hunting, from Montana to the Yucatan, New Mexico to Nova Scotia and points in between.

Rob is a professional Tenkara guide at Great Feathers Fly Shop in Sparks, MD, right above Baltimore and a short distance from the Gunpowder River. Rob is also a certified Tenkara USA guide and was one of the first Tenkara guides in Maryland. Rob has also been featured in the Baltimore Sun. Many members of PPTU have fished the Gunpowder and are very familiar with its waters. Rob will provide us with additional knowledge of how to utilize tenkara techniques on the Gunpowder or whatever river you may fish.

This will be a fun and informative presentation. For more information on Great Feathers and Tenkara visit their web site, and if you’re in the area, stop by for a visit. Rob and the other folks in the shop are always ready to greet you with a smile.
