I want to say welcome to all the newbies, and there seems to be quite a few lately.
You are at one of the best sights around to learn about this great sport. Take the time, even if it is late at night, to go thru the archives here. I don't believe there is a better source of information around. I don't even begin to claim to be anything but a novice, if that, at fly fishing or tying, but I have learned more about these pursuits the short time I have been here than I ever did any where else. So WELCOME, and enjoy the great sight that Ladyfisher and JC run.
Consider becoming a "Freind of FAOL" and HAVE FUN!!!!
