Hello!
Just wanted to introduce myself, I found this forum while searching a comparison for Simms Waders. In my perusing I notices some the names of some fellow members at another fly fishing forum.
My name is Luke, I've been fly fishing now for about 5 years. I started after a trip to Washington to see my grandparents, and hearing and seeing my Grandfather and Uncle light up when they talked about fly fishing, I figured I'd give it a try. I had always been interested in it, since the time I was a kid, I went on a pack trip into the Sierras with my Dad and some Family Friends, and we caught nothing on our spinning gear, but one guy fly fished and was catching fish all day long, but as I grew up, I lost interest in bait fishing, and thus fishing in general until I tried Fly Fishing.
After trying it once, I was hooked (pun intended).
I live in Southern California, fish the local waters of my Local Mountains on a regular basis, and frequent some areas dear to me in the Sierra's during the prime fishing season. Love fly fishing, hate the taste of fish so I am a catch and releaser. I look forward to reading and hopefully inputting anything that I can contribute.
