ok...Here goes

Postby castaway » September 2nd, 2008, 9:33 pm

So I stumbled across this smokey back room - though I would post a few pictures - some of you I know, some of you I recognize, and some of you are strangers...

Oh - I love ebay, and vintage gear....

A few pics - basicly tells the story of what I am about - I dont like to ask about "where" you fish - If I know you - I might ask your opinion on a place I already am going to fish - and I might ask for fly advise. I am a rookie at this fly fishing thing - but it consumes me.

enjoy the pictures...

Nice pictures. Judging from the fish, you are a fast learner. Tight lines!
