after growing up with a hunting/fishing father, and mother, bait for the most part, i was turned on to spinner fishing when i moved up to park city, utah in the early 70's. i had a roomie who was a dedicated, and successful fisherman with mepps #2 silver. i lived there for some years before i moved up to ketchum, idaho for a job. while there i picked fly fishing at the age of 21. i have done (almost) no fishing except with flies since i discovered this wonderful past time. i learned to make fly rods, and of course to tie my own flies. my skill level of creating flies, and rods is not great, however it keeps me out of trouble and adds greatly to my enjoyment and experiences on and in the water. i fish warm water, bass, cold water, trout, and ocean when the opportunity is available, usually in my float tube. a few visits to mammoth lakes each year, sporadic trips to fish inshore, or deep, and spring fishing in perris lake during the spring. these have been my fare since returning to so cal in the late 90's. glad to be aboard. take care, and keep your rod tip up.
