My name is Phillip, and I say hello to everyone in this fine forum.I am 20 years old and I currently reside in the heart of steelhead alley. I have been fly fishing for 8 years. I like every kind of fish out there, but my favorite is native fish, in native streams. I build rods, and this winter I plan to learn to tie my own flies; become more self reliant. I love backpacking and fishing small streams. I also write, not well in case your wondering
