New Member from PA
I hope this is the right place to introduce myself, as I didn't see a forum topic for "introductions" or something of the sorts, but I'm someone who has been looking at the site for a while but who thought it about time to introduce myself on the bulletin boards. My name is Pete Gramp, I've been tying longer than I've been fly fishing (since I was 14, so 18 years or so for the tying, and a few years less for the fishing). I live here in Southeastern PA (Pottstown, PA) and often haunt the Lil' Lehigh, Perkiomen, and Pickering Creek watersheds for trout. Every summer, I make a switch from trout and fish for smallmouth in Lake Messalonskee in Oakland/ Waterville Maine. I just thought I'd introduce myself here before I go posting around and have people wonder who I am. :)
I look forward to hearing about you all,
-Pete

Hello Pete, Welcome to FAOL from SoCal. Pull up a log and sit a spell. New guys chop wood and bring donuts. Ha. Look forward to your postings. Jim

A big welcome from The Island Nation of Ohio!! Don't make yourself a stranger. And one more thing, don't forget to wipe your feet when you come in....Mom likes it that way.

I think the New Guy has to bring the donuts too!! Welcome aboard. Drop by the chat room some evening and meet a real bunch of Trout Bums

Greetings from Kansas!
Fortunately, you introduced yourself AFTER the worst of winter, so your wood chopping may not amount to much! But you will have to get the donuts!
Good to have you here!
-
Even Pennsylvaynicans are welcome on here I've heard. ;) Good to have you. If you haven't availed yourself of the myriad of information available from the menu on the left side of the Home page, you'll find a wealth of information on just about anything related. If it's not there, just ask a question and you'll get your answer from very knowledgeable people from all over. Our administrators solicit ideas, patterns, (see fly of the week) articles, etc. from everyone willing to hop in. You've been a silent observer for awhile, so you probably have a good idea about the way the best forum on the web works. Welcome aboard.

Hi Pete - Welcome aboard!
As you can tell by my board name, we fish some of the same waters. Our local fishing should be really good this year, with all this rain. Shoot me a PM if you want to fish some time.
Also, if you get a chance - check out the PA Fish-in thread at the top of the page. It's an unbelievable gathering! From what I'm hearing, there should still be space available in the campground's lodging. More fun, great fishing, binge eating and drinking, than any one person has a right to - and you're invited.;)

Welcome aboard. If you do bring the doughnuts, remember that everyone who gets one has to give you a fly, preferably of a pattern new to you. ;)
