Not even close. I've been here from Day 1, in fact mine was one of
the votes cast to create the new Usenet newsgroup. This is a post
from the first weeks of roff.

Nope, although it was closer than I thought. That wasn't my first post
to roff, according to Google this one was:

I think Dave Bottom (flyfish) got one in on the first day, he still posts
occasionally, Jon mentioned daytripper and of course TBone.

OK, so according to Google roff started on May 17, 1994 and I didn't
make a post until the 19th. What can I say, I must've been fishing
at the time. ;-)

Tim's bio call is a little slow gettin' off the ground here. Maybe some
of the newcomers are shy(?) and the oldtimers are too tired g.

I'm a regular lurker who sometimes posts and sometimes just laughs instead.

Born and raised in Northern Illinois, 45 miles from Chicago, in the area
around Joliet...Yes, there are a couple of prisons here...

Been fishing longer than I can remember, though only fly fishing for about
10 years and tying for 4.

I got into fly fishing as the result of a day bass fishing when the LMB were
chasing newly hatched shad. I had nothing even remotely small enough to
simulate what they were eating and saw two guys with fly rods catching one
after another. One of them became a regular fishing partner.

I currently work in sales, (Cell Phones, 2-way radio, satellite dish). SWMBO
and I have been married for nearly 31 years. We have a daughter, 29 going on
12, and a son, 18 going on 27, a German shepherd, an old cat (developed bald
spots about the time I started fly tying) and a registered American Paint
Horse.

I fish mostly for largemouth and smallies, with a plethora of pan fish
thrown in for good measure, though a time or two a year I try my luck at
trout somewhere, usually in Arkansas or Missouri.So far I've caught 15
species on the fly rod (this year I'm gonna try for flathead cats). I'm also
a Life Member of BASS and NAFC.

Hell, that's close enough for a day trip to take in the early season opener
up here in Curdistan......if you can get sprung for a day. Rumor has it I'm
no prize, but I can vouch for Mr. Axelrad's sterling character, and he
speaks rather highly of Mr. Knight. :)

who just today received word from a trustworthy source that there are
monster browns in a creek just.....THAT.....far from fennimore.
