Heyo - new poster here.
I'm an albertan by birth - born and raised about 3 hours east of Calgary. Have loved to fish and hunt all my life (have family to thank for that), but just starting to get serious with fly fishing recently. When I was 12, I started on a the same fly rod that my father and grandfather learnt with. Until 2 months ago, I was still using it (now and then - a definate hack!). I've hung that one on the wall now and upgraded to new technology - WOW what a difference. I'M HOOKED. Fly tying is the next venture... I've got the basic tools and materials as I've been tying jigs for a while. Even been repairing some of my chewed up flies already.
I've had a pretty decent summer so far - catching my first White and Brownie on a flyrod. Really looking forward to a productive fall. Next summer I wanna try getting a Pike on the fly...
Always lots to learn, and that's why I'm here...
