I have a pretty good crew of 4 or five guys around my age that I fish with but outside of that we are definitely surrounded by the "gray" crowd. I almost prefer it that way though because it seems most guys my age are strictly "chuck and duck" from the boat their dad bought them kind of guys. It may have to do with the over abundance of fly fisherman here in S.E. Idaho, i dunno Price is the most common road block i encounter when trying to get new people to go. They have fun but aren't willing to pitch out $100 or so to really get started. my $.02
