North of Boston near the border of NH. I've been fly fishing for about 5 years. Like to fish NH and central and western MA rivers & streams. Try to get up to Maine at least once per year. Have fished Grand Lake Stream, the Kenebago & the Rapid. Managed to fish SW Montana for several days a couple of years ago. Now I know a little bit what heaven will be like. Summer evenings will find me in my canoe fishing a pond ~ 1 mi. from home using small poppers for bass, bluegill and crappie.
Grew up in rural NW CT. My father was an avid fisherman - liked to use a fly rod with garden hackle in small brooks and streams. When I was 13-14 in the late '60s, my father sent to Herters for a fiberglass fly rod building kit (8'-6" 6 wght). I built that rod and fished it. Still have it.
Fiberglass rods I currently own & use - Fenwick FF706 and FF857. Recently was looking to add a couple of Browning Silaflexs. After browsing this site the past couple of week, wish list now numbers at least a couple of dozen makes & models and is still growing. You people willing to share all that awesome knowledge on this site are insidious.
