I found your forum a couple of days ago. There's a wealth of information here. I mainly fish for wild Brookies in the Smokies or the Davidson River or Wilson Creek.
Been fly fishing for about 53 years. I love bamboo but have a number of graphites and fiberglass also. Favor traditional fly patterns and especially the traditional Catskill patterns.
Still working but looking forward to retirement. I'm a bit of a car buff and drive a 1971 Triumph TR-6 as my daily driver. Yes, sometimes she takes me to the mountains but usually it's my wife's Suburban, which isn't nearly as fun but safer.
I don't complain or snivel. I get it done instead of procrastinate, but if I do procrastinate, I'm better than most. I shoot, compete in IDPA matches, hunt, cycle, mountain bike, backpack into the wilderness at every opportunity, ski alpine, cross country ski, swim, skate, tie my own flies, build most of my own rods, don't fart in the cabin, don't snore, good cook, can fix most car problems on trips, can drive in snow and ice, pack light, drink lots of water, I'm not competitive when fishing and have been married to the same woman for 27 years and have a 26 year old son, a 19 year old son and no other kids (that I am aware of).
If you live in North Carolina, reach out, I'm always game for a new fishing partner.
Ciao!
