Hi!! I just signed up for this website and it looks really cool. I started out fishing when I was 5 years old. My grandfather started me with a baitcaster and I loved fishing ever since. A couple years ago, I wanted to do more and so I started fly tying. I've been making flies since then and I just picked up fly fishing 2 years ago. I love fly fishing for panfish and also make my own 9' 3x leaders to go along with the fly's I'm interested in learning all I can about the sport. I also like sharing it with my freinds. At first they thought that it ment to fish for flies, but I explaned it and started to get through to them.Like I said, I love fishing for pan fish, the smaller the better, but now I'm looking to expand my horizons and have a good fight with a bigger fish. I live and breath fly fishing, I think about it all the time and I eat up knowledge! I can't wait to hear about other peoples experiences on this site and learn from them.

Welcome to the site. If you get a chance to attend one of the clubs events we would be glad to put you onto some smallmouth.
This Saturday, Jan 7th, our club will have a booth again at the Indiana On the Fly Expo at the state fairgrounds in Indianapolis. If you can make it, stop by and give a hidy ho.

That would be really cool and I have been looking to go after smallmouth for a few months now! Unfortanitly, I will be helping tie poppers at Flymasters Cabin fever the same day! Also, I don't live in or around Laffyette, so I probebly can't come to a lot of club meetings if any. I'm loving this sight and I can't wait to get more experience. Thanks, Flyfisherguy
