A Newbie!!!

I am a newbie here and I just wanted to let everyone know that i will probably have lots of questions and be seeking lots of advise as I try to expand my knowledge of all things fly fishing. I have not been fly fishing for very long only a couple of years , but wow what a rush. I am very interested in constructing my own rod and even making a couple for my friends. I haven’t been on here much but from what I have seen and read this seems like a great place to learn…So to all you knowledgeable souls p[lease be patient with the newbie, and if you would like to be my friend please PM me.

raiderhunter,
Welcome to FAOL. The best fly fishing website on the net. Feel free to ask away. May I suggest you go to the main page and click on the link on the left side of the page that says; Flyfishing Basics. Great place to start.
Again, welcome aboard.

Howdy from Western Washington State. Glad to have you aboard. Lot’s of great people here who are more than willing to help out new folks. One thing Joe missed is the Rod Building lessons put together by the late Al Campbell, Al did a first class job putting those tutorials together. Be sure to check them out.

We also have a live chatroom here, so stop by in the evenings for some real time chat and immediate answers to your questions.

they will steer you in the correct direction.

Welcome aboard.

Welcome to FOAL! Glad to have you and looking forward to the questions!:smiley:

Hey Raiderhunter!

Welcome aboard!
Questions !!! … we ALL have questions. :wink:

Welcome aboard. I was a regular on this forum for several years, then took a hiatus for a couple of years. Now I am back, so I guess I am a newbie on flyanglersonline as well.
The folks here are very knowledgeable and kind. Someone will always answer your questions.

Welcome!!! We all started somewhere. Don’t be afraid to ask, no matter how small.

Raiderhunter,

Welcome from the over-taxed and soon to be broke state of New York. You’ve found the best fly-fishing site known to man. Just remember there is no such thing as a stupid question…hell…I ask TONS of them myself. Welcome aboard.

Welcome aboard. Make sure to grab some of ohiotuber’s peanutbutter fudge, if you get the chance. Joe V’s bread is more than passable, too. Get a cup of coffee, pull up a seat. Enjoy.

Welcome to the board. I Like your name…hope you bag your limit. (and there’s no limit)

Thank you all for the warm welcome…I look forward to learning and even making some new friends.

Welcome aboard from So Cal, raiderhunter. New guys usually get the coffee and donuts and keep the campfire going. I guess since you’re from Amarillo, you’ll bring the Lone Star long necks and mesquite barbeque. Seems like you’ve been around since '07 so I’m guessing you’re just shy. Jim

Welcome to FAOL raiderhunter, great bunch of people and information here.
