Hi there! My real name is David (or Dave if one prefers). Moved to Syracuse about 12 years ago and my interest if flytying and flyfishing has taken off considerably with this move. I have fished for bluegills(first fish on a fly), bass, trout, yellow perch, and crappies. I have no preference, just being able to get out is good. My lovely wife Rachel(married 10/3/2004) is quite supportive of my 2 addictions and even took a beginners tying class to get an idea of what it's like. My fishing season is relatively short since I work 50 to 60 hours a week, but there are all kinds of waters within a short drive of here so you can go for whatever you like to catch. I have read a few posts here already and everyone so far seems pretty decent and I look forward to seeing more and even having some contributions.
