New Social Group- Kilted FlyFishers (KFF)

[ForresterModern]

Due to an unfortunate but humorous gaff I recently made on the newbie board (you can look for it yourself---I am not going to point out my mistakes) I have discovered yet another flyfisherman on the forum besides myself and MacNulty. And Jock Scott uses a wet fly as an avatar, I believe, which probably qualifies him as well. Are there any other flyfishermen on the xmarks forum? Want to join a social group to get to know your fishing brethren and possibly make some new contacts to put you on some good water next time you travel with your "magic wand"? Please join the new social group, Kilted FlyFishermen. Women are also invited--the name is to be considered gender neutral (I just didn't think Kilted FlyFisherPersons sounded very interesting).
Come on board and lets wet lines together. Tight lines to all.

I'm in -learned to fly fish more than 50 years ago from my father in New Zealand.

Count me in! I am not sure if I will wet a line this year, but I live in hope! If you go to my old threads section, you will find two threads(one on salmon fishing and one on trout fishing) that will give you an idea of what I normally get up to, at this time of year. Tight lines everyone. Oh by the way, the fly in my avatar is a Jock Scot.

REALLY great to hear you up and about again. I hope all is going well with your recovery. Your wisdom will be a great addition to this group's ongoing discussions, and even if you cannot fish this year perhaps we can provide some vicarious pleasure to you with tales of our exploits in anticipation of you joining us on the riffles and runs next season. And I promise, no talk about flat caps unless it is worn while on the water.

Hey, count me in also. As long as it is from 2 weight to 10 weight, fresh or salt, I am game!

[KiltedSurveyor]

Sounds great! I'm in. Maybe this will be an excuse to get on the water more! (babe, I'd rather be with you, but who knows when I'll get a chance to meet these guys again......).

Was there not a member that made flyfishing kilt pins here?

Can't answer that Grant but I do have a small collection of trout pins and fly pins that are probably just a wee bit too small to use as kilt pins, unless I decided to school all the trout together on the same kilt. Several years ago I remember seeing larger fly hooks with the pin already attached so that a fly tier could tie their own fly pin in a larger than really useable size (something like pike fly sized), but the extra metal of the two pin points intimidated my tying skills so I never tried it.

Hmmm...

What if you have a rod, reel, line, creel, waders, the river boots, flies, fly box, collapsible staff, vest, fly tying kit, net, and the "Fly Fishing for Dummies" book but have only gone so far as to try practice casting once?

Cheers
