Hi, everyone.

 

I just joined this forum with the hope of learning from the community.

 

My experiences outdoors have been limited to backcountry camping (doing it since I was a kid) and I practically live in the outdoors throughout the entire year (yes, winter included), yet, I've haven't fished since I was 12.  The reason for the loss of interest was because my Father used to take me with him all the time, but after he passed, I didn't want to be reminded of those moments we shared and eventually, I forgot about fishing.

 

Now, I am expecting a child of my own.  This reason coupled with a Father-in-Law who is enthusiastic about learning to fish (he's also a complete novice like me), has pushed me to add fishing to my outdoor repertoire.  There is, however, one problem:  I know nothing about fishing.  

 

So as the days pass I will be asking for input from the more seasoned veterans on this forum for any inside tips on gear, technique, etc. - of course, I'll post to the relevant discussion areas.  

 

I hope to learn from you all and share some fun experiences that will help us grow as fishing aficionados.   :razz:

 

Thank you for taking the time to read my introduction.

 

Take care,
