Hello all.

Joshua

Hello Joshua,
Yes I finally got up the nerve to start asking my dumb questions.
This sport is about as complicated as pipe smoking. I bought a couple
videos on casting and can do pretty good at that. Got some books on
bugs and how they should relate to flys but they didn't take. I just
try something that looks good and hope for the best.

pretty much what we all did when we started out. Stick with it
though, once you climb the learning curve eveything falls into
place... umm, err, most days.

There is always more to learn of course

True confessions. I can't smoke a pipe and work the water. I smoke
my Camels if the bugs get bad.

I enjoy a pipe on the water and have some pipes specifically made
(large bowl, light weight, hangs perfect from teeth & rests on chin)
but mroe often than not i'm found with a cig in my mouth too.

Cigars, as much as I love em, jsut don't get smoked much on the water.
The smoke gets in my eyes too much and becoems a distraction -
especially if I'm playing a fish or working a seam intently.

If ya get a chacne next spring, make a trip east to PA and we'll wet
a line together and share some baccy.

Best
Joshua
