hey all here is a bit about me.

my name is richard im 22 i live just out side of yeovil in sunny somerset. i work as a self employed agricultural pest controler. i used to fly fish a few years back when my dad took me out for the day then i was hooked then i gave up for no reason at all altho i still carried on making flys for my dad and his pals.

any how a few weeks back i was having a dabble down the local river with some lures and i kept on hooking brownies and then it re-lit the spark that i fergot about. a few days later i took a walk along the river and i seen fish rising and the odd trout just swimming around in a pool just off the fast current and decided i wanted to get back into fly fishing and orderd me self a airflo rod and reel so now im just waiting for it to arrive along with a few other goodies. i have a few new fly patterns i cant wait to try.

is there many people on here from yeovil or somerset? if so id be grate ful if i could tag along or have a fish on the strech of river i use its totaly unspoilt and unfished only bye one or 2 old boys and me

cheers rich
