New guy

Hi Everyone –

I thought I’d stop by with a humble offering…and an intro.  Name’s JT – I’m in Tempe, Arizona.  Anytime I can, I fish the mountains and desert lakes of Arizona.  I also get up to a cabin in Nova Scotia for a few weeks a year.  Work takes me other places, and I travel with a rod most of the time.  Cliche, but I’m entirely consumed by the sport.

I have a lovely wife and a three year old son who likes to fish and tie with his dad when he can muster the attention.  Very thankful for both.

I look forward to learning from you all.

Welcome JT great pictures.  I had to laugh at the first shot with the plastic car, beer bottle and grill in the background looks just like my house.

Thanks, guys – kind of y’all to be so welcoming.

Anyone in the southwest, by chance?

JT,
you chose the best place to visit here…outstanding pix!
the one with your son is a classic….

[Joel Thompson]

Welcome JT! The only southwest person I know of around here is Aaron Otto and I have not seen him around much lately. Funny thing to me is I never think of Arizona as a place that has trout water. I just think hot desert so it will be fun to see your posts!

Cool stuff, JT; I like it.  What’s that long fish midway down that looks kinda like a huge rainbow runner?
