Hello all.

Having joined the forum back in 2007 and made the odd post hear and there, the guilt of not introducing myself when I joined has increased.

Have fished for 30+ years mainly around Oxford on the Thames and tributaries and later on Farmoor reservoir, chub to 6.3, perch to 3.10 and barbel to 9.6. Started on Farmoor 2 in 84 and then joined Farmoor 1 in 89 best brown of about 5.0, left Farmoor 1 in 2000 (to many people winging about brown to rainbow stocking levels) to concentrate on the barbel, returned to trout fishing in 2006.

I am decidedly average angler who has enjoyed and gained from wealth of knowledge on this forum, it was this forum than spurred me back into trout fishing, thank you all, I hope that I am able at some point to pass on some of my average knowledge.

I feel that now I've said my hello I can post with confidence, what a breath of fresh air.

PS, I now have a PC at home hence the ability to post more frequently.

Nice to get to know you PLUMPY, come on in.

Hello, Plumpy, welcome to the world of the average fly fishers. We are all average on here, some are just a bit more average than others. Most of the threads in which you might become involved are going to be most helpful or amusing/entertaining; but take my advice and avoid getting involved in the less pleasant, unless you have really strong feelings about the content. Like the open season, life is too short.
Have a good year. Tight lines, TC
PS BTW, you are my senior on here by several months!!
