I?m not trying to promote any one group with this post, but I am curious how many fly fishers or fly fisherman ( :lol: have we settled that question yet? :lol: ) here on this site are veterans.
Maybe with a post like this some of us on the BB have crossed paths in the past, or come very close to crossing paths, and maybe have something in common that we didn?t realize. I?ll start: US Navy ?
