I have only been a member of this site for a little over a year so I often find myself reading past fish tales from adventures that I had missed. I have learned so much from this site and from all of your fish tales that I think that I have bi-passed about fifty years of actual fishing experience. The stories and adventures just keep getting better and better and more in depth and I enjoy reading each one. Thanks again for creating such a phenomenal site that is hands down the best website I have ever been on. Maybe that's why it's my homepage! Sorry, that this seems sentimental but I just wanted to thank you all for sharing and to keep them coming!
Tight lines,
John

jinxed, .. it is amazing really ... so many fly fishermen, fish and fisheries around the world ... for me, i can't imagine fly fishing or the internet without flies and fins ... and, i can't really put a finger on exactly what it is or why it somehow seems more than just a "website" ... but for some reason it is ... and i too often look through the archived fish tales and think ... "that is alot of fly fishing ... " ...
