Sorry guys, blame Darrin. Darrin told me about this forum so I thought I would check in and see how everybody is doing. I reconize a lot of folks from various forums so I don't feel much like a Newbie forum member.
Pete's bio:
Have been fly fishing for over 20 years.
Practice Catch & Release.
Tie my own flies.
Build my own rods. Mainly Bamboo and Fiberglass.
Enjoy fishing the Kern, upper Kings and the East side of the Sierra.
Live on the central coast and really need to do more ocean fishing.

How do you tie the fly to your hooks without killing them with the thread? I keep cutting them in half.

A little pimpin' is a good thing…
Sooo, now that Pete is here too, I figured it might be time to pimp him out a bit. You see, he captured the attention of Cameron Mortenson, author of the Fiberglass Manifesto and moderator over at the Fiberglass Flyrodders board. Cam decided to do a little write up on Pete and his rod building skilz:
Go ahead, click it and read The Fiberglass Manifesto or T.F.M.
Pretty cool, huh?

One of these days 
Big Daddy "D" one of these days. Although I do love that rod, cast like a dream. You are going to have to cast it with one of the Furled leaders I am making

Uh, I mean, Pete shows his featured glass fly rod to his new friends.

Welcome Pete! Glad you found your way over here. Nice build on that fiberglass also. You ever make up a Tom Morgan Fiberglass? Blanks are pretty pricey, but curious how they compare to a Steffen or McFarland
"Should you cast your fly into a branch overhead or into a bush behind you, or miss a fish striking, or lose him,or slip into a hole up to your armpits-keep your temper; above all things don't swear, for he that swears will catch no fish."

midger,
Eventually I want to add a Morgan and McFarland to the Glass quiver. I have seen pics of the Morgan but, since they are so new I haven't heard too much. If they were designed by Tom Morgan, you know they are a fishing machine. They are a beautiful blank. As far as the McFarland, Bill Y. built one and really liked it unitl he broke it.
