Thought I’d introduce myself. I’ve lurked for awhile, and have been a member of the bamboo rod and fiberglass rod forums for some time. I’m a psychologist in Albany, NY, take off most Fridays from this time of year until about October to fish in order to keep myself sane, and right about now am pretty damn preoccupied with thinking about fishing, tying flies, thinking about water(am truly haunted), and this afternoon will get to cast a new Thramer 8′ 3 pc. hollowbody rod I just got in the mail. Next week I should be receiving a new 8’3″ 5 wt. glass rod from Mike Mcfarland. (It really does get sick when you have to struggle a little to pick out which rods to use- have a bunch, and I made my first bamboo rod with George Maurer’s help a yr and a half ago – a 7’6″ 4 wt. that I really do love – way too many competing mistresses this year). Anyway, hope to continue to enjoy Zach’s podcasts and this forum.
