New to group

[Palladin34]

Hi,
My name is Mike Margolies and I am new to the group.  I have enjoyed reading emails for the last few weeks.  While I am not new to fly fishing, I did take a 20 year break.  Just didn't like fishing much in SoCal.  Anyway, I have refallen in love with fly fishing and it really helps to have a forum like this to reacquaint myself.  That being the case I went out on the Skykomish last Saturday.  I haven't fished for salmon since my student days at Humboldt State.  I didn't catch any, but had a great time...until I went back to my SUV and discovered that someone had broken my window, stolen my extra fly rod, my sons spinning gear and a camera tripod.  I was in a fishing access area with plenty of other cars.  I hope that this was the exception to the rule, rather than the norm.  I suppose the lesson is I can't bring extra gear, but I am very disappointed.  I am only letting everyone else know so they will be careful.  ! ;This was the first time I had ever heard of something like this happening.
I look forward to more info on what's going on.  I hope that my next report is about the silvers I caught next weekend.
Mike
