Thanks for the information and the invite Tio! One of these days, hopefully sooner than later, I would like to sit around a fire on the beach and hear some more of your stories.
I have had some frustrations with this forum in the last few years. Lots of threads posted with limited responses but plenty of lurkers that I am sure know plenty but choose not to share. This is not the case in the fly fishing section. I have only posted a couple threads to get info on buying my first combos and have been met with several people giving several different perspectives. Thanks for the reborn faith fellas! Look forward to my new addiction!
