RiverEagle,
A "big" welcome to FAOL from Tennessee. You will enjoy your time here and I will look forward to reading your posts and will try to answer any questions you may have if I know the answers. Don't be afraid to ask questions. We were all beginners at one time and we all are still learning. You are going to love the fly rod. I use a fly rod for all species and tie all my own flies. A walleye on a fly rod is a lot of fun.
WELCOME RiverEagle

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.
