1st Maryland Crab Cake Tour: Day 27 Learning to fly fish with Heroes in the streams of Westernport

On the 27th day of the Maryland Crab Cake Tour, Nestor enlisted his lifer pal and mentor Dan Rodricks of The Baltimore Sun to share his vast knowledge of the fly fishing waters of Western Maryland. If you have followed the #JennStrong leukemia journey, you know Eric Sauer from his work as a bone marrow transplant survivor and founder of There Goes My Hero. He loves to fly fish and brought his son Joey and we made it a day on the North Branch of the Potomac River.

We caught more fun than fish but learned the “ten o’clock, two o’clock” casting method of the great Lefty Kreh. And then we headed east toward home for an evening in Hagerstown with a crab cake and some German food to honor the two German citizens who saved the lives of Jennifer Ford Aparicio and Eric Sauer of Maryland.

Prost!

Follow along all of July for last year’s glorious and delicious 30 crab cakes in 30 days (#CrabCakeTour on Twitter and Facebook) and let Nestor re-tell you where to go this summer for a tasty ‘cake.

This year’s tour is sponsored by The Maryland Lottery, Goodwill Industries and Window Nation and the Restaurant Association of Maryland and begins at Rocky Gap State Park on August 1st and will stretch for 31 thirsty days and nights as Nestor celebrates his 31st Anniversary as Baltimore’s longest-running and most celebrated radio voice and media traveling crab cake taster all month for a second run at great Maryland businesses and local breweries all over The Free State. From Oakland to Ocean City, from Cumberland to Cambridge – The Maryland Crab Cake Tour retrospective from 2020 is here and the 2021 edition is coming your way.

If you have a nominee for a delicious Maryland crab cake somewhere on the local roads, now is the time to toss Nestor a note: nes@baltimorepositive.com. We’re always looking for a new place to bring our sponsors: The Maryland Lottery, Goodwill Industries and Window Nation and the Restaurant Association of Maryland in support of Restaurant Week from September 16-25, 2022.
