Hi folks, my name is James, just started flyfishing 3weeks back, been hanging around this forum reading what I could before buying my first reel(Teton) from JimmyAw a month ago. I got my first rod(Freestone SCL) from JimmyLim a week back. Both Jimmys! It was a great first weekend with this rod/reel set, before that it was a borrowed rod from JimmyAw, he has been teaching me the art or rather poisoning me. Still don't know a whole lot of things, hope to learn from you folks. Went to a friend's spot to try out, not sure if I can reveal it, so I better keep quiet.. All CnR. My current equipment: Shimano Freestone SCL 3WT, Teton Reel, Sage Quiet Taper II flyline. Thanks James First PB on SCL 3wt and charlie Another 2.2lb PB on charlie Was aiming for the haruan I spotted, so I cast further out to the side to pop the gurgler by the haruan when this fellow whack the Gurgler, nice jumps, and as it was getting dark all I saw was a slim sliver body, first thought was herring but when it came closer, I recognise the tail..

Hi James, I think I saw you fishing at SP on Saturday just before the downpour.
If you need some more flies, let me know and we can meet up and I'll pass you some.
regards Alberto

Hi Alberto, that was me . Sorry I didn’t walk further in to introduce myself, was concentrating hard to get my first hookup on the SCL.. ;D Also met Qwek for the first time in person. Mah was also there, I first met him in Coho last Tue when I got the Quiet Taper II. Mah together with Michael was very helpful.. I will definitely take up your offer on the flies. Will look into a vise in the near future.. Best Regards, James

Hi Billy, paiseh, paiseh.. honestly new to fly fishing. Started luring May 2005, I went with baitcasting (enjoyed the beehoons) first, then spinning and finally this.. I studied quite a bit by reading and wanted a 3/4wt rod as my first fly rod even though in general I read a beginner starts with a 8/9wt . I didn’t want the hassle of buying a practice rod and selling it away later. JimmyAw also advise “3/4wt can already lah, don’t waste money..” I was already on a 2-6lb spinning set, the rod also from JimmyLim. I enjoy ultralites.. Best Regards, James
