I just wanted to thank all of you who responded to my email and provided
me with such wonderful information which will help me to better learn to
read streams and identify hatches when I go to a river for the first
time. You made some terrific suggestions that I will be sure to
remember next time I am out on the river. I really appreciate the time
you all took to respond so candidly to my question, and I hope someday
that maybe I can return the favor to all of you. Thanks again.
Dave

Believe it or not, get "Fly Fishing for dummies". It
has answered a lot of questions in the beggining. I
had my first big week at the Yakima and I have a
friend that is very knowledgable. He said that I was
casting and working the rod and line like I knew what
I was doing. I know what your going through but don't
think you can learn it all in a few weeks. Keep me
posted and "Fish on"
