Good Morning!
I am really thrilled to have found this forum, which I discovered while searching for info on using vintage fly rod sized lures. I'm a history teacher (though I'm in the process of transitioning into a career in computer science - what I should have majored in 30 years ago!), and a happily married father of two grown daughters, as well as being the help for our tribe of friendly cats,
I frequently fish in our local ponds and lakes, and about once a month the Mrs and I go camping at one or the other of the state parks here in in Texas. Mostly I fish for bluegill and other warm water species. I'm really looking forward to Thanksgiving break when I'll be able to spend a week camping along the Frio River and go after some of our Texas Trout!
I love my fiberglass rods and American-made reels (well, the 7/8 Medalist is overseas made, but the rest are home grown), both using and learning about them. I'm also starting to learn how to tie my own flies.
Again, I'm really pleased to have found this forum, and I'm looking forward to taking part in the discussions!
James
