Here's a question for the group (as I'm killing time waiting for the fires to die down and the salmon to arrive ... 8 DAYS !!).

On the Learn to cast ... Learn to fish thread: [url=http://www.flyanglersonline.com/bb/Forum1/HTML/013982.html:85788]http://www.flyanglersonline.com/bb/Forum1/HTML/013982.html[/url:85788]

LF replied and mentionned
"... I can cast side by side with the best and not be intimidated. ..."
Wow, .. I found that a disheartening comment. ...

Do "you" newcomers feel Intimidated by the "old vets" on the stream side? (or here at FAOL for that matter)

Do you (we) make newcomers feel at home on our homewaters? Not just to newcomers to the sport, ... but also for newcomers to that particular region, river, pool.

imho, I often go out of my way to ensure that newcomers in my neck of the wood feel welcome and secure when I'm about. The more anglers we have here, the better. ... How about you ??
