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

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...
