Hi everyone,
Since it looks like I'll be a part of the community here I thought I should introduce myself.
My name is David and live in Central Texas. I'm a lifelong fisherman and have been paddling canoes and kayaks since I was a kid. I'm mainly a river kayak fisherman, though I'll hit the lakes around here and enjoy bank fishing.
I started flyfishing about 10 months ago. A few of my river buddys are flyfishermen and it just looked like a lot of fun. A while back my neighbor that has some rent houses called me over. Said his last renter left a rod in the house, must be 10 foot long. When I told him it was a fly rod he said he didn't care what it was, take it or he was going to throw it away.
I took it and rigged it up, went out with my fly buds and caught a bass on a popper after about 45 minutes. That was it, I'm a fly fisherman now.
Probably won't be much help with advice for a while, but I can put up an occasional trip report and what I've tied lately - love tying flys.
If you find yourself in the Austin area shoot me a PM, chances are I'm going fishing.
