we have many fine anglers on this forum. there is also probably a smattering of shy, fish-curious types who need a manly arm to ease them into the fantastic, magical, exciting world of angling.
ask questions. tell us what you're doing. show us your flies, lures, rods, recipes etc. post updates about your latest outing. pics are always nice too.
by way of introduction, i used to be known as fishingrhod precisely because of my piscatorial fixation. i now live in the Middle Of Wales surrounded by rivers and lakes brimming with wild brown trout, sea trout, and grayling. there still are a few salmon hereabouts but they're pretty much an endangered species now.
i have to go fly fishing because it is the only sampling technique we have available for our Brown Trout DNA Project. as a result i am learning how to do it as i don't know the local waters very well, my casting is rusty as hell, and my fly tying ability is limited. basically having lots of fun and calling it research. other anglers are helping out on their waters but these are the lakes i'm working my way through. right on the top of the Cambrian Mountains, i present to you the Teifi Pools.
