Hi Fresno,

Welcome to the best fly fishing site on the internet. Lots of good information and lots of good people. Let us hear from you often. For really good local information and assistence, I would try to find a local fly shop and start hanging around there. I would purchase a couple of size #16-18 Adams parachutes, a couple of Gold-Ribbed Hare's Ear Nymphs size 16 and a couple of Olive or Blacks Wooly Buggers (size #8-10). Start flinging those flies around and see when and where they work. Check your library or bookstore for some of the beginner books on fly fishing. As I said above, there lots of good information here too. Welcome to the group. Please keep us posted on you successes. 8T
