Hello everyone. I just signed up and hope to contribute as much as I can.
I don't Fly fish a lot, but if I am in waters that are good for that sort of thing I love too.
Thanks for having such a great site to go to.

All waters are good for "that sort of thing"

You are right about that. Just haven't invested into all the different rods that it takes to do the different waters. I have tried the local surf with my 5wt but I find it a bit small unless I hit the harbor, which I do occasionally.
Thanks for the welcome.

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

Yep its a Wrangler. Also correct on the CB antenna, however the real Jeep now also has a 2 meter Ham Radio antenna. I got my Ham License back in Feb. Makes a big difference when out with my buddies. Also going to add a 10 Meter radio I picked up the other day. It won't be long before my poor Jeep is gonna look like a Porcupine

Bill,
Welcome to the forum. And thank you for the donation to the CFR / PHW Super Raffle.
Goleta huh? We might have to meet up down there and you can show me the ropes. There are several of us located in the San Luis Obispo area.
Love the Jeep. Good thing Darrin figured it out for me. As soon as he said it was a Jeep, it stood out like a sore thumb.

Sure Pete, your welcome on the donation and anytime you are down this way I would like to fish with you guys.
I found this site from Greg Madrigal posting on FNN. I love the nets he builds. I tried to get my wife to get me one for Christmas last year.
I did meet some guys fly fishing the beach at La Conchita that were from SLO not long ago, even a few from Bakersfield. I have to be honest I don't fly fish very often, I like it, even was a SBFF club member for awhile. Just found something else that takes a lot of my time. I do A LOT of surf fishing the So Cal way. I use my Simms Waders and get in the surf and cast Lucky Craft lures. Done well on the Halibut and Perch. But one day I would love to catch a keeper size Halibut on a Fly rod. That I am sure is fun.
Ya I get comments on the Jeep thing a lot. I tried to put a smiliey in it as well but didn't look so good. I think I will try something else and see how it looks

Welcome! And yeah, the jeep is cool. I was trying to figure it out and when I saw Jeep, I saw it right away. If you stick around long enough, someone will get you out with a fly rod quite a bit.

WWO,
Those bass like the harbors. The way I look at it, you can throw an costly lure to the pilings and loose it vs. a fly you can tie for under a buck. This applies to lakes and streams too.
Now acquiring the FF gear is another story...Welcome aboard.

Hey there WWO! Welcome, welcome to FAA!
You'll like it here. As Rick (RSetina) mentioned, if you stick around, you'll get out with a few of these guys and may even learn a thing or two!
Keep working on her buddy. I'm thinking this year is the year for a new net! (Gift certificates available too!!)
