Hi Everyone - just joined FAOL. My fishing buddy Robert (gobrock) has been sending me many links from this site that I have found it interesting and informative!
Little bit about me - I am an IT professional (geek) in Health Care during the week and when I am not working I am fishing with gobrock all around this great province of Newfoundland and Labrador here in Canada (eh!) Maybe in another post I can disclose how Robert became Gobrock! What do you think?
I love to chase the smokers (as we call them), big Steels, Sea Run Browns and the Master of them all, the Atlantic Salmon who can go from 0 to 60mph in a blink of an eye and toast those cheap reels even quicker!
I look forward to embracing the knowledge and content here and maybe, just maybe, I can offer some insight myself.
WELCOME to FAOL!!! Very happy, that you’ve decided to join this fine fly obsession web site! Hearing about fishing from your neck of the woods, should be very interesting and I hope you also enjoy how others do things, coming from all over!!?
We’re not even going to hold it against you, that you hang out with fishermen like Gobrock. One, most of US,“Have black sheep friends” and personally, I AM “the black sheep friend” myself, to many. (not as far down the list as say…“Tyronefly”, but I’m low on the list, regardless).
Enjoy the site. Lots of super people, here, and even greater info, hints and tricks!
I sure feel sorry for you though having nothing to do in your free time except chase them piddly smokers all around ugly ol’ Canada. How boring that must be!
I usually do not want or allow any “Bugs” in my fly tying material, but, in this case, I will welcome you to the BEST fly fishing, fly tying and fly anything site out there. Feel free to contribute your thoughts and questions and enjoy yourself. Tons of information on this site. Check out the menu and look us over. Great bunch of people here and a site you can be proud of. Welcome…
Hey Bugs Welcome from out here in British Columbia.
Glad to have you anchoring the Rock at your end .
We all know that its the middle of Canada that causes all the trouble.
Spilling the beans on how Rob(gobrock) got his name is a trump I have to keep back, for now, as with just the mention of disclosing it on this site has suddenly increased its value. Me and gobrock are good fishing buddies but the only thing we seem to agree on is the time we are going to get up to go fishing!
