I thought I would say hello as I have been lurking around and have enjoyed the site. My name is Bill and I live in South Central PA. I have been a life long fisherman and recently got back into flyfishing. I used to flyfish a little and am very excited about getting into tying my owm flys. This site has been a great resource. You all seem like a great bunch of guys. I would enjoy hearing from anyone here in PA.
There are now 3 members with pa and/or fly and/or fish in their name! I am out in the SW - near Pittsburgh, but fish in the Laurel mountains too. You have a really good guide out your way - Mike Heck. He is in falling springs. Anyhow, as I said welcome.
I’m from the “eastern shore” about 1.25 hrs from your neck of the woods. I fish there often.
Make sure to take advantage of the good fly shops in Carlisle & Boiling Springs. BWO’s should be coming off on the local limestoners so get out and go fishing!
Bill;
Don’t believe anything ohiotuber says!! (He works evenings so you’ll hear from him in the am.)
If you’ve checked out “SoundOff”, “Cabela,s Security Cameras” by fcch you’ll see Brad Sherrick, 'tuber & I. I’m the worried one!!
BTW I’m hosting the 2006 Fish-In on Michigan’s Ausable River and by simply “Lurking” here you are wholeheartedly invited to share lies and flies!!
I feel more like I do now than I did when I got here!
I live about 35 miles north east of Harrisburg, not far from route 81. Fish streams in your area quite a bit. Maybe fish the Breeches with you some time.
Hey Bill,
You and I are pretty close to each other. I live in Liverpool. Work in New Cumberland. We have to get together and do some fishing. email me anytime.
Bill,
Welcome from another Pennsylvanian. I live in Honesdale in Wayne County, the northeastern most county in the state. If you’re ever up this way, give me a holler.

There is a fine line between fly fishing, and standing in the water waving a stick.
Bill,
As the others said, welcome! This IS the best site, even though there ARE certain people here who choose to insult me…with absolutely NO provocation! And, being Irish as I am, why would ANYONE think I would stray from the truth?
Jack Hise looks good for 84, doesn’t he?
Mike
Thanks for the welcome folks. I am looking forward to being part of this group. As I said I am a bit of a newbie to FF but have been a fisherman for all of my 49 years wow…I am getting old. I fish mainly in the local streams here…stony creek, clarks creek, yellow breeches. In fact I am taking a 1/2 day and will be on the Breeches by lunch time. Would love to hook up sometime with anyone who fishes this area. I live in Mechanisburg and work in Carlisle.
