I think you may be correct on the DC thing . He told me Kay would meet him somewhere and they’d drive up to Syria and rent a room or cottage when he had leave . Where he told me he fished was maybe 3-5 miles from Hoovers Camp on the Rapidan . The same Rapidan River/stream that Harry Murray came up with the Mr. Rapidan fry flies and emergers . I spent many mornings and evenings in the same general area bouncing dry flies off rocks with my little Walt Carpenter 6 1/2’ 4wt split cane rod . Never used much other than Mr. Rapidans and blonde elk hair caddis .
