I'd like to add a hearty welcome to all the new folks. Like my good friend, Jim Hatch, I also get notified of all the folks that are joining our ranks.

I've had the pleasure of several folks jumping into the chatroom on their first evening on FAOL and we had a great time. Those folks were complete (or at least aspiring) fish bums, so they fit right in with the chat crowd.

No matter what your fly fishing skill level, this is a great site to improve your fishing, casting and tying skills, plus make some great friends.
