V6_Ridez 0 Report post Posted October 22, 2006 Hi everyone ! My name is Christian and I come from Trois-Rivières (three rivers), a city between montreal and quebec in canada country. First, I want to apologized for my bad english... You should know that in the province of québec... the majority of the population talks only french... So, I take my courage... and i'll try to participate to this board. I'm 24 years old. I'm tying fly since 3 years. I try to captured each year many species of fish like trout, bass, salmon and northenpike... I'm working like Human Ressources manager and i'm studying at university in the MBA program. This summer was my first time meeting with SalmoSalar ! And... trust me... I'll always remember this first meeting ! **** My first and only one salmon: 32 inchs for approximatively 12 pounds **** OUff... It's hard to express myself in english... but the reality is : english = world ! So I should improve my capacity to speak shakespear language ! Thank you all for your patience with me... thank you also to make my pasion of fly tying growing up each day ! Sincerely, Christian Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

conehead 0 Report post Posted October 22, 2006 Welcome Christian, Make yourself at home, you can learn a lot on this board, I know I did. Your english is a lot better than my French, 3 years of french and all I can remember is how to order a Hamburger and fries. Nice salmon, I have been looking at vacationing in the Quebec area sometime. It sure looks like beautiful country. Plus you have a lot of great fishing up there. Take care, Conehead Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
