Thanks
Dell. I think many of the "small, unnamed" streams should remain such on a
public forum, especially with the list archived on the web and searchable.
However, communicating about what techniques worked on a given day, or in a
given situation can be valuable even if the stream is not named. If
someone wants more specific detail about locations, that may be best discussed
privately. Hopefully, this fits the group sentiment and I won't ge flamed
on my first day.

Welcome Kevin, I hope that you will continue to
post any of your experiences, but be careful outing some of those little known
places, some on the list think that is a no no.
Cheers,
Dell

Subject: Hello from a new member
As per
Wes's instructions in the subcription reply, I am giving up the appropriate
information on another individual who will be perusing all of the discussion
on taco wagons, chinese bamboo rods, boat dollies, and other such important
info. My name is Kevin Lahmers and I am a long time fisher who took up
flyfishing in earnest when moving to Pullman, WA from OH 5.5 years ago.
I have done my best to improve my skills and seem to be getting the hang of
it. I tie all my own flies and have built my own rod. My wife and
I get to fish a lot in Idaho during the summer and fall, but winter and spring
can be long here on the Palouse. I built the rod and have tied flies in
the winter over the last couple years hoping that would satisfy the growing
urge to be fishing or thinking about fishing as much as possible. It
hasn't quite worked. I joined this list for a couple reasons.
First, it is another potential outlet for my fishing fervor. I look
forward to hearing lots of new ideas and discussion of some things that I
haven't considered. The second reason is to try to find a couple places
closer to home to fish. I know I could just search the web and be done,
but lurking doesn't seem to be the honorable thing. I love to fish
moving water, so my ideal would be a small stream or two, within a couple
hours, open year round, and with at least 8" fish so that I could skip out
occasionally and get my fishing fix on summer evenings or the winter days
without having to make it a major trek. I can dream can't I? If
any of you are busy constructing this location with your magic wands, feel
free to let me know through the list or in private. Until that day, I
will do my best to contribute when appropriate to the collective on this
mailing list. Thanks in advance for all of your wit and
wisdom.
Sincerely,
Kevin
PS. Feel free to
contact me if you have any questions about fishing northern ID. This
would most likely be my best contribution to this group. Of course there
could already be a resident expert...
