    Search is my friend!
    When I have a new interest, I have to learn as much as possible to see if it is something I want to spend time/money on, and to make sure I start off going in the right direction.
    I did a net search on fly fishing and FAOL was near the top of the list. Once I started reading, I was hooked.

    I wanted to find a way to tie flies using the braid and weave method. Found Al Campbells methods and just sort of transferred over from there. Did I learn to weave yea do the tiger weave better then any other style LOL

    I can't really remember, I think it was a lucky stumble.

    I was in the process of my first rod building prodject. I was reading everything I could find on the web.
    A link from Mudhole lead to Al Campbell's fine rod building tutorial....

    I was reading an article, ... saw Al Campbell's name, was intrigued and did a Google search on his name. Dropped in here and never left.

    I saw this site mentioned on another email list.
    Finally came and looked at.
    You have been stuck with me every since then.

    I was just surfing the internet on fly fishing and found FAOL. Lurked in the background for quite some time and ran across a post from "ohiotuber" and noticed he lived within 30 miles of where I grew up when I lived in Ohio, so, I e-mailed him to see if maybe he was "kin" to some classmates I graduated with. He was no "kin" but we shared some familiar water that I had fished while growing up. He convinced me that I should join FAOL and I joined "Friends of FAOL". So, you all have "ohiotuber" to blame for being stuck with me and as long as JC and LF keep this "home" as clean as they do, I will stay! I love it here!

    Fly fishing and fly tying are two things that I do, and when I am doing them, they are the only 2 things I think about. They clear my mind.

    Found it doing an info search. Lurked a while and never found anything better and decided to join up and here I am.
