My Turn!
I can see from the member list that I know several of you already and I'm sure you'll know me too.
I have lived in the NW most of my life with the last 26 years in Hillsboro. I grew up in the Puget Sound area and have spent time in Montana and Utah.
I have fished since a boy with my dad and brother. Dad used to take us up into BC for a week vacationing at different lakes back in the 50's and 60's. I never figured out if it was because he liked to fish or he knew we liked to fish! I learned to fly fish in Montana on the Madison river and never knew there were anything but dry flies until a couple years ago.
I mostly fish the Wilson River and sometimes the other coastal rivers since I hate driving through Portland to get to places that are much closer to me. However this year I visited Utah for a reunion and fished my way home at several places in Eastern Oregon and in the Cascades.
I have three boats right now and need to unload one of the little drift boats so I have room for another project. I'll post a few photos of the latest project another time.
While I admit that I fish for trout most of the time I'm always trying to get my one fall chinook each year and I'm determined to learn how to catch a steelhead with my fly rod.
I look forward to learning more and sharing what little I know.
GD
