Hello From Mid-Mo

[Pat Magee]

I figured I would join the forum since I have heard such good things from the current members. I am not sure why I didn't join sooner!

I have gotten really serious about fishing over the last several years and have slowly amassed quite a bit of tackle, rods, and reels. I have also picked up Fly Fishing over the last year and I am really enjoying it. While it cost an arm and a leg to start up, it is extremely rewarding when you hook up with a nice MO trout or smallmouth.

I look forward to learning some new ideas and hopefully finding some new fishing holes that I haven't been to yet.

Thank you!

Welcome-

Yes, fishing, the last truly PURE "vice" left to man, un-tainted by much, and so, so, so darn rewarding, even on the "worst" day.

The older. I get, and the years just seem to fly by- the older I get, the more I realize that being -out-, on the water, that is the goal, the fish are just an added. Bonus.

Man I MUST get out. Soon after this move... Erhhhh... Double- move... Grhhhh...

I feel you, I make an effort to get out every week at least once. Whether it is at my secret honey hole or in one of the many fine Saint Louis county lakes that are near me. Like everyone I would love to catch all braggers but sometimes even a simple panfish will make me happy.
