Members Mongo Posted March 24, 2008 Members Posted March 24, 2008 My handle is Mongo, and I was referred here by a fellow trout man, jjtroutbum at MissouriCarry.com. I've been chasing my finny friends since 1965, when I was introduced to trout fishing by a friend of my dad's at Meramec Springs. Velvetta on a 14 treble if I recall... Kind of gave that up. Now use a flyrod 90% of the time, but I still enjoy my ultralight. Never been a fly snob, never will be. Wife and I go to Montauk in April, June, and August each year, and we try to get out for some day trips now and again. Tight lines to all.
flyfishmaster Posted March 24, 2008 Posted March 24, 2008 Welcome Mongo!! Can't wait to hear the stream report after your April trip. BTW: Does "Mongo" have any reference to the movie "Blazing Saddles"? Woo Hoo Fish On!!

Members Mongo Posted March 25, 2008 Author Members Posted March 25, 2008 Thanks guys, Yes, on the Alex Karras "Mongo" in Blazing Saddles. I got the nickname from my bowling team... don't know why... And, no, never punched a horse. Been around a few I could have shot easily, but I wouldn't want to hurt my hand. I'll let you know about April in Montauk. We are kind of concerned about the water levels and runoff, but typically I haven't found that to be a major issue. (Thinking about spending more time in the Trophy area this trip, though)
jjtroutbum Posted March 25, 2008 Posted March 25, 2008 Look who made it!!!! Welcome and enjoy the fine group of people that frequent this place. Some are very knowledgeable and a few are also quite funny but most all seem to be real salt of the earth types. Enjoy and share as much as you can.
