Howdy Everyone

Postby WanderingBlues » December 4th, 2009, 9:53 pm

Thought I'd introduced myself and say that I'm pleased to be a part of the community. I'm a lifelong angler, but a neophyte at flyfishing. When someone says "I'm fishing 50 spectra with a 10 foot fluoro topshot using a butterfly jig," I get it. When someone says "I'm using 4x leader on weight forward 5 foot sink tip with a 8' 4wt rod using a caddis pattern," well, I get lost. So, it's like rediscovering the thrill of angling all over again. Flyfishing suits my ethics in as far as catch and release and conservation. I'm pleased to be a part of it.

Look forward to reading the posts and learning as much as I can.

Curtis

Well this is awkward.

You'll be fine as you can tell some guys are a lil sensitive.
