Thanks all for the welcome. I've been looking around for a great flyfishing/tying forum and I feel this one is as good as they come. I'm certain I'll enjoy my visits and I hope I can add a little to the atmosphere.
Gnu Bee Flyer- went with whiskyjack as I have been called a social character around the campfire much like the "camp robber" but I usually travel with a bit of Glenfiddich which I've been known to share a drop or two of.
