hello from me

new member here
i was given a fly rod for fathers day this year
6wt rod and reel combo nothing too expensive
i have since been sorting leaders more fly line floating and intermediate
more flies
i think i have got the bug
just come back from a few days at Valley Dam fisheries
blanked but enjoyed it,my casting seems to be improving
i did get a couple of tugs on a buzzer but missed them also had a few follow the fly up when lifting the rod to re-cast
looking forward to next season when i will join my local angling club to fish my local river there are quite a few good still waters in the area for me to improve my abilities
tight lines all

Hi Morbid,

Welcome...I'm new to this forum myself.

I love fishing with the fly, and unlike other types of fishing (which I do still do) you don't need a ton of gear. I put all my fly's and tackle in my vest, pin a scoop net on my back and carry my rod for miles looking for the elusive 'Wild' brownie.

Good luck and enjoy

John

Hi Morbid, once you catch you first on the fly, there`ll be no turning back, mine was a 6oz brown with a terrible attitude. Welcome to the forum and ask away if you any need advice, I`m sure the fluff chuckers will try to answer.
