Welcome G;
I “Lurked” for a year!! But you out did me!! I see you tye, great! I’ll be glad to test your flies for you!! And, never, never start to build your own rods. Should you get the urge just email me. I’m forming a support group for this adiction!!
I feel more like I do now than I did when I got here!

G-man,
Welcome aboard. It’s a great place to hang around. I’ve been here since 2000, but have been forced to use several different monikers. I think I started out as jlsanders225 or something. In those days, a fellow named Fishin’ Injun used to welcome folks on board with a “Howdy, grab a cup of coffee and welcome to the doughnuts. Just stay away from the Fritters, they’re mine.” I’d like to claim the fritters, but if I eat any more, I’ll sink in the river. With or without waders.
You will enjoy this site, as I have for almost 6 years now. A sincere welcome from an old guy named Loteck.
He Knocks. You Only Have To Ask.

Oh yeah what do you fish for and what patterns and sizes do you use???
G-man
I tye a lot of steelhead/salmon patterns, but I also tye trout flys in both wet an dry patterns just not as much. Heck it all depends on my mood when I sit down at the vice. I do have a few fly in the fly of the week. I also tye with Ronn Lucas once a month at the regular meeting we have there, great group to learn new tech with.

My uncle has lived in Livermore for about 50 years. He is not a fly fisherman. These days he spends most of his time traveling the world.
