Hello all, My name is Mike and I just found the site and wanted to introduce myself to y'all. I have been tinkering with fly fishing for a little while and decided to jump all the way in this year. Got the gear and have attempted to tie a few flies but haven't had a chance to seriously try them out because of work and life in general being pretty busy here lately. I'm sure I'll have lots of dumb questions as I try to get up and going so thanks in advance for all the help. Look forward to having the chance to maybe join up with some of the locals to see if I got what it takes to catch some fish on the fly.

Hey Mike... Welcome to the board. I see you are from Morristown... You are near a pretty nice tailwater up there!

Welcome Mike. No questions are dumb on here, fire away!

What Jay meant to say is there are no dumb questions, but there are some fellers on here that are just plain du.....well......there just stup......what I am trying to say is........well........when Tentwing tells you that propellers are the way to go on a fly....don't laugh....it hurts his feelings...

And if anyone on here refers to a river as fishless....ask them to take you.

[Tentwing]

And if you think I felt dumb putting propellers on flies ?? Just imagine how all those poor trout felt when they hit those flies ;D

Mike ask all the questions you want to. I hardly think you will ask a question that all of us here have not already ask at least once in our fly fishing up bringing.

Thanks guys. I'm glad you told me about the propellers, I've been rackin my brain all day tryin to figure out how to wrap one on a size 10 hook! I've tied a few very ugly flies so far but I know it will just take time to get the hang of it. Hopefully I'll get a chance to try a few out soon.
