The program for the August meeting will be a presentation by Mark Bange entitled ‘Small Watercraft Fly Fishing in “Nearby” Tidal Creeks and Millponds.’ In this PowerPoint presentation Mark will describe the boats, the tackle and the techniques that he uses to access the “small” water fishing resources in our area. In addition to these “how-to” aspects, Mark will also show some of his favorite water.
The meeting will be available both live at the London Tract Meeting House and via Zoom. The Meeting House address is: 410 Sharpless Rd, Landenberg, PA 19350.
The Zoom link will be sent out to members by EMAIL on the Sunday prior to the meeting.
Mark Bange is a lifelong resident of Anne Arundel County, Maryland. He lives on the Pasadena peninsula between the Patapsco and Magothy Rivers. He has been an avid fly angler for over 40 years. He began kayak fishing in 2011 when he retired from a 34-year career at the National Security Agency.

He has written two books on the topic both of which are available on Amazon: The Simple Joys of Kayak Fishing and Fly by the Seat of your Kayak. Also, he has written fly fishing articles for “FishTalk” and “PropTalk” magazines. And he has contributed articles to “Maryland’s Fly Fishing Trail”, https://fishandhuntmaryland.com/marylands-fly-fishing-trail an online resource for anglers seeking fly fishing opportunities in the Free State. He is a member of the White Clay Fly Fishers and a past president and current member of the Free State Fly Fishers in Annapolis. Mark has been married to his wife Linda for 45 years.
