New member here. Thought I’d introduce myself! - Chanimal - 11-23-2017
Been a long time lurker of the Utah forums for a while! Always enjoyed the photos and the reports and figured I might as well join since te fly fishing forum seems to be quite a bit smaller and needs some more active members!
I started fly fishing this year in March when a buddy invited me to go. Foul hooked one brown on the Lower Provo that day and it was enough that I had a rod and reel shipped to me 2 days later and a box of 10 zebra midges and asked my friend if I could borrow his waders and go with him again! It’s been a long, expensive, but exhilarating summer and fall season and I hope I can contribute to the Utah fly forum and maybe see some of you guys in the water!

Nice fish. How is that Loop Cross? My only complaint is between that rod, reel and line you’re going to turn fly fishing into a fashion show like road and mountain biking have become[

Welcome! Great pictures. I'd just add I love that Sage 4200 series reel as well.

Welcome! I agree that the gear is a just a tool to the fishing fix. Look forward to more posts by you.
