The Guest Book
By James Castwell


For many things I am grateful; the following are clips from the 'Guest Book' here on Fly Anglers On Line. Not everyone reads it nor takes the time to put something on it, but some do. We have had several thousand entries over the years, these are just a few mostly from outside our country. To the authors of these and the thousands not listed, my sincerest thanks. It is a privilege and an honor to bring this to you each week. For we are, 'of flyfishers, by flyfishers and for flyfishers,' without whose gracious contributions we would not exist.

I think this next one may say it all:

In Mongolia we are quite cut off from information on flyfishing, I have been surfing the web and found your site, it truly is great, with good and useful information for people starting up and for the experienced person. People might think that in Mongolia we don't do much fly fishing, when I arrived in 1991, the Mongolian fishermen would look at me and say to themselves, "what is he doing," today we have a group of about 50 people flyfishing. Thanks for the great site "AT LAST" Ulaanbaatar, MONGOLIA

Thank you! ~ James Castwell

Till next week, remember . . .
