    Default Howdy...

    My first post here (well, second actually); for some reason I had a lot of trouble registering so thanks to Denny for all his help walking it through. I'm in south-central Kansas and make it to trout country once in a while, but bass and bluegills are mostly what bends my rods. Lately I've been on a carp crusade but have yet to land one . Looking forward to mostly just hanging around; hopefully I'll have something worth while to add once in a while.

    Welcome aboard from a displaced american whos,lived in england 41 years, but can still remember fishing for pike, bass ,wllayes, bluegills, crappies and carp in eastern South Dakota many moons ago and then two years ago when visiting. Still to take a carp on fly, but have had perch, roach and rudd whilst fishing for trout so you never know.

    Welcome to the board from north Georgia. Nice bunch of folks, not many rules (abiding by the Golden Rule pretty much covers them). You can learn alot without much effort and make some pretty good friends who it may take a long time to ever meet. One of the things I have learned is that when I wonder if someone has ever tried something, they have you just have to find out who it was.

    Welcome to FAOL.

    We just had a SE KS bluegill fish-in sorta in your neighborhood a couple weeks ago. We met at the KS Mined Land strip pits near Big Brutus. Hopefully you'll be able to join us next year.

    Welcome aboard! Though I live in trout country, one of my fly fishing friends seems to have shifted mostly to going after carp. Once you get the hang of it, you can avoid a lot of boring miles on I-70.

    Welcome aboard. Be warned that Betty Hiner is actually Swamp Witch Betty; what with Kansas being one giant swamp and all...
