Hello everybody,
I just found this site about three hours ago and am stoked to say the least. I just wanted to throw out a little intro for you all. I am a 30 year old living in SLO, Ca and have had this fly fishing bug for about 5 years now and am an addict without a doubt. My favorite fishing (all I do is fly fish) is for the little wild ones way up high and also I am really enjoying chuckin bugs in the surf as well. I am a 99.9% C&R fisherman that leaves that tiny little percentage out because I have been chasing my first leagal halibut from the surf on a fly for 3 years now and cant really say what will happen when I finnaly land her. I am a huge consevationist and try with all of my might to leave it better than I found it at all times and try to educate as best I can when the opportunity presents itself.
I recognize a lot of names from another forum I visit as well. And am glad to see that some of my early on line teachers are here as well. I found this site because I want to learn more and feed my fishing mind. As well as share my experiences/ learning curves with you all as well. You may not remember me but Dr. Creek, Randy, Gabe, Eric, Benny and others I dont remember right now all have been huge parts of my flyfishing life whether you/ they knew it or not so..............Thank You.
One other little note: I have noticed that another forum is talked about on here and I have no clue whats going on and frankly dont really want to know or bring any drama into something I cherish so much. I have no problem with the other forum or its owners and will still continue to visit/ patronize as much as possible. What I was doing was wanting to learn more and when I saw this site and a few members names I knew I had to sign up! I dont know why I posted this other than to say that I am not really part of a mass exodus or anything I just am who I am and dont really want to take sides/ get into it. (I really like the idea of having a forum just for these rants and such so it can be all bottled up into one)
Anyways Im really glad I found this site so thank you to whoever built it, I will do my best to support and patronize this site as well.
