First off, this site is and has been an amazing place which I really enjoy. Hat's off to the entire Admin team here since Craig left and you guys took over. Excellent work, I appreciate all you do to keep this thing going and I know it isn't easy and time consuming.
This site has been not just a fishin' site, but a place for me and many like myself to make friends, fish with, read, enjoy and learn from others who are so generously willing to spend the time.
We have some top shelf people here. I am thankful for finding FFA a few years ago and I look forward to many more years to come.
What a great community of good and like minded people.
What sets us apart is the diversity of talented people and the warm welcoming of new members. Some who just come and go and others who hang around. I've fished with some of you in the past and shared trip reports with the community (when I actually fished instead of tie flies or build rods
). Although I have not fished with most I am convinced that this site and it's members are a diamond in the rough.
So here is to a grand 2015 and many more to come afterward. I sincerely wish you all the best in this coming year, with more and more fishing trips and especially good health.
What a great ride it's been so far!
