Dave Cooper 0 Report post Posted April 21, 2008 Hi all. My name is Dave Cooper and I'm a fly fisherman. I've been addicted to the sport, the science, and the art of catching trout and salmon with a fly for most of my 60 years. My stomping grounds have been in Idaho, with occasional trips to Montana, Wyoming, Utah, Oregon and Washington. I've been tying flies since I was 13, mostly for myself, but I've also sold a few. You'd think that after all that I would have seen it all, done it all, and know it all. Well, I ain't. Not by a long shot. The next trout I meet will not be impressed by my "resume" at all, and will likely be caught by some "kid" with a borrowed 'pole' and 35-cent fly he bought on sale at Wal-Mart. Such is the life we lead. Tight lines to you all Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JDF 0 Report post Posted April 22, 2008 Hello, My name is John Farinelli. I am in Florida and I picked up a fly rod about 3 yrs. ago and haven't been able to put it down since. My only regret is that I didn't pick one up 30 years ago. I have learned alot in the last 3 yrs. and the main thing I have learned is how much I don't know. This site looks like it willgo a long way in educating me. Hopefully, I won't ask too many stupid questions. Best Regards, JDF Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
