This is my first post here. I though I’d do it on the Sound Off board. Anyway, this seems like a good place to talk about flyfishing and share good information and stories. I have enjoyed reading through the bulletin board threads and the main website. This is a great website for sure. It’s good to have it on the net. Keep it up. I’m sure I’ll be posting some messages in the future. For now, Cheers!

welcome. You come from a lovely part of the country. Jump right in here!
mtnstream,
Welcome to the best website on flyfishing, flytying, rod building and all the info you could possibly want. I will look forward to your posts on the BB. We can always use another opinion and idea on this great passion called flyfishing. JC and LF run a tight ship here and some do not like it, but, it keeps the “house” clean and gives you a web site you can show your family and be proud of.
Welcome
Warren

Welcome mtnstream! Glad you found the site. As you can see from the menu on the left, LF and JC have put together a tremendous research for all who come to this site. You’ll find the free exchange of ff & ft information here top notch.
Again, welcome!
mtnstream,
Welcome! I see you’re from Morgantown…my nephew studied Thoracic Surgery there…UWV is one FINE school. Stand tall & be proud! I believe UWV either leads or is near the top in Rhodes scholars. Is that Italian restaurant, “Rose’s” still in business? Some GREAT food there.
Nice picture & beautiful State. Maybe some day we can meet in the water or for sure at Cabelas! Post if & when you go & maybe we can get a bunch of us together…after all, we are talkin’ family here!
Mike
This site’s about sharing!
Hello mtnstream,
You are going to like this place. I thought I recognized those mountains. I am from a little town north of Pittsburgh but I have family in your area. Moved to the Harrisburg, Pa. area about 12 years back. Lots of great fly fishing in the tri-state area and I sure do miss it.

Hey thanks for the welcome everyone!
Rose’s is still here, thank goodness (thats sweet you know Rose’s!). It’s a great little place to relax and eat very good Italian food. The food in this area is starting to really get good, which is great for me 
. In my eyes there is not much better than fine food, except flyfishing! Morgantown is a nice place to be. I fish alot in the area, so anytime! I love fishing with good folks who love fishing as much as I do.
The pic in my first post is of the Dry Fork River outside of Parsons, WV. A great place for free camping with plenty of wild trout in the area(although you gotta go far upstream on the Dry Fork to get away from stockers, the tribs though, mmm mmm) That pic is a great thing to wake to. And not far you’ll find stuff like this, which can provide very colorful days of fishing.
sorry I just love pics 
mtnstream,
I tried to send this reply yeserday but was unsuccessful. Learning curve apparently steepens with age. I too am a newbie on this board but confident I’ll learn soon.
The message was to say that your photos are beautiful, especially the last two. Sorry ladies, God’s most beautiful creature is the brook trout. And your ‘crick’ photo reminds me of spots here in morthern Michigan. We don’t have the rhodies but that’s not all bad. They make beautiful flowers but I understand they also extract many flies as tax for using the ‘crick’.
Wonderful photos and greetings from one newbie to another.
Bill

Thanks Littlebrook! Yeah the “cricks” we have can comsume plenty of flies! That kind of stream is why I went off and built myself a 6’6" 2wt. That may sound a bit crazy to some of the western fishermen on here but that’s my main rod for the streams I fish. Just finished a 7’ 4/5wt for the “bigger” streams I fish.
I could watch brookies hit dryflies off the top of those little pools for days! Don’t think I could ever get sick of it.
You ever make it down WV way, look me up–send me a message through here. To me, it doesn’t get much better than a day spent on a crick like that!
Welcome! I can’t wait to visit West Virginia again and this time I’m bringing my rod. Haha! Really, WV is one of my favorite places to visit and camp. Some of the finest state parks in the US and very friendly people.

mtnstream,
Amazing! I too put together a 6’6" 2wt rod a few years ago. At first I was pretty disappointed - too bloomin’ wussy. Put it away but got it out again the following spring. Tried again, still with the peach DT line, and decided to try it on water instead of giving up after trying it only in the yard. Glad I did. The last couple years it’s seen more use than the Sages, Winston and Orvis. That’s in little 'cricks. The bigger rods - like 3-6wts - still see service on larger water.
Small world. Great minds run in the same ditch----er, ah,–streams. Yeah, that’s it, Streams!
It’s a PacBay from Hoook and Hackle. The line’s from Cortland.
We’re expecting a pretty good snow storm tomorrow here in Michigan. Nearly three months till fishable weather. Not sure I’ll make it.
Have fun. Bill
