Dave G. 0 Report post Posted May 24, 2017 Well then welcome and also thank you for your service ! I was out in the Catskills last year for a wedding, no time to fish as it turned out. But we did check out some waters while there, sort of a drive by situation. We thought we might try to get back out that way this year to actually fish but it looks like we are going back to Maine instead. Ya, it's nice country out there for sure. Enjoy the forum. Dave G.

cphubert 0 Report post Posted May 26, 2017 Welcome David, it is a good obsession (I think) you have some good groups in your area, if you haven't already look up the Catskill Guild some great tiers and good company. Thank you for your service I hope your dry flies land softer than you and your AA brothers. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Steeldrifter 0 Report post Posted May 27, 2017 Glad you were finally able to get on. I don't know why but every once in a while it seems like the site traps someone in that validating group which far as I know doesn't even actually exist. It's some sort of a weird glitch that seems to happen now & then. Welcome aboard. Steve Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
