Hello all! Not my first forum here, I am a member on a few others I won't name here out of respect for the admin. About myself... I am a machinist, I run a CNC mill in a small shop in Knoxville. Yes I do listen to punk rock, no I don't live the lifestyle. I cut off the Mohawk when my daughter was born 12 years ago. A lifelong spinner, I cut my teeth fishing for trout in the sierra nevadas above bishop CA. I started fly fishing a couple years ago and find it far more rewarding to fool fish. I also have been tying for a little over a year and don't have the variety of materials I hope to one day have. Typically if I find a pattern I must try I substitute materials out using what I have. I am still green and have a lot to learn. I hope to do a little bit of that here as well as share some of what I have learned. If ya got a question don't be shy. My coworkers joke that I look like a thug, but I am far from it

Welcome to the forum Punk.
A little bit of materials go a long way in a lot of different flies.

Maybe we could have called you "Five Weight Johnny Rotten" or perhaps "Streamside Social Distortion" - Welcome! We'll fish some time. E.L. Morton-"Clincher"
