Default London fly fisherman

Hi there, new to the forums, thought I'd say hi!

I've been fly fishing on and off since I was 4 and am about to go fishing for the first time without my Dad! Somewhat of an intermediate - but little idea about tackle/tactics etc.

I've gleaned these forums for a lot of advice over the past few weeks, so thought I'd sign up and hopefully contribute.

I'll do my best not to post stupid questions or post things in the wrong places!

Hi Pace and from a fellow Londoner welcome to the forum

Don't be such a spoilsport

This place is full of people who can't wait to jump on newbies who ask silly questions and put posts in the wrong section!

Hah - thanks!

In that case I'll see how many angry responses I can rack up!

Welcome to the forum! Look forward to reading your posts on fly fishing in the future; and don't worry about asking daft questions, everyone on this forum asks silly questions at some point! Just "Pace" yourself, it's a good forum for like minded people, also a very helpful bunch - if you need any advise.

What part of the London area are you situated? also, where do you fish? There you go, some questions to begin with!
Welcome !

Mostyn

I'm living in Hackney at the moment, not much fishing round here it seems! I grew up in Essex fishing at Chigborough though. Fished there since I was about 10. Ardleigh reservoir between the ages of 4 and 10.

I'm heading off for a long weekend at Lechlade/Bushyleaze with a friend of mine who I've discovered has similar experience to me. We're taking a couple of our friends who are total novices and will be borrowing our spare kit.

Primarily here looking for advice on kitting up for that trip, fishing reports and general tactics.
