Welcome to the sport and the board Mike and what Doug said !

If you're retired or something and have time on your hands, come on down to OR and I'll show you some fly fishing over LMB, SMB, bream and steel. Sounds like we have a convert on the path to redemption ! How do I grin without using those dumb emoticons?

Cheers,

MontanaMoose

P.S. Pick Doug up on your way by !
