    Hi. I’m new to the board. My name is Greg and I’m from SW MO. I mainly chase trout at Taneycomo and a few other places here in MO. Zach I didn’t catch where you are from? I just viewed the pics from your trip out west. Awesome. My wife and I are planning a trip out there next year.

    Hey Greg-

    I lost my post due to the windstorm Katrina is causing here in Knoxville.

    I am from Rogers, Arkansas originally and probably fished many of the same waters you fish.

    Yes I did find you through Ozark Chronicles.
    By gear I assume you mean FF gear? I have a variety of fly rods (more than I need). But the two I use the most are a 7.5 ft 4 wt rod I built myself from a forecast blank. The whole thing cost less than $50. On that rod I have a Ross Cimarron #1. I also have a 8.5 ft 5 wt Sage FLI that I’ve only had for a couple of months. It replaced a hand made rod I have had for several years. I have a Cimarron # 2 on this rod.
    My wife also fly fishes with me at times. She likes it a lot but is not as obsessed as I am.

    Hey Greg-

    Your wife wouldn’t be Tina would she?

    Yes one and the same. I guess I’ll claim her. I’ll get her to join the board. She is also a member of the OC board but at times she gets a little frustrated by what she feels are male chauvanists there. I really like how you have set up this site. Very informative.

    Hey Troutgirl,

    No reason to be ashamed of those reels.

    Hey Kyle-

    Glad to see you, hope Hurrican Katrina didn’t cause any trouble during her first pass.

    Troutgirl-

    Kyle’s right, that is good gear, although I totally understand not wanting all hand-me-downs.

    Not ashamed at all of the gear!

    Hey Troutgirl-

    I have never been bonefishing, but look into the Ascension Bay area of Belize.
