Thanx Guys for your replies & in particular the words of welcome.
To answer some of your questions :-
I am a Kiwi still living in NZ but flyfished in Colorado a few years ago.
Am an ardent fisho solely involved on a 100% amateur basis in many forms of fishing including, freshwater, sea, netting, diving etc. & have been for the many years I have been on this earth. I have a small boat plus a larger one ( 5 .5 mtrs ) as well as an older model motorhome set up primarily for fishing.
Not sure what the policy of this site is & don't want to upset admin but if it was OK could post a link to a personal blog site that would give an in depth insight into the various forms of fishing down here.
Have also fished in the Pacific Islands namely Fiji, Nuie, Rarotonga, Norfolk, Solomons' Tonga as well as the US, UK, Scotland, Australia, Tasmania & Sweden.
Cheers Barry
PS :- if anyone has specific questions re the fishing down hear would be happy to try to answer them.
PPS :- I note that I am listed on the site as a "Junior member" .... would give a lot for that to be true however I probably hold the dubious distinction of being the oldest junior on the site & possibly the senior sector as well !
