MAINE - Life in the Slow Lane
Thank you, Lee. Actually I was looking for a topic where people introduce themselves but I couldn't find anything, so I'll do it here.
I'm quite new in the area, I moved to new Hampshire almost 5 years ago from Romania. So I'm still learning about local techniques, flies, fishing spots. I practice C&R 99.99 % of the time, 100% for 2009 season. I discovered here what a beautiful fish brook trout is

and what a landlock salmon can do to a fly.

I have a blog where I post pictures from my fishing trips, among other stuff. I love taking pictures almost as much as my wife. Some posts are in romanian since i still have a lot of friends in my native country, but I'm trying to post more in english.
Besides fly fishing I am interested in fly tying and rod building. This winter I just finished building my second rod, a 10 ft #4 on a blank from dan craft, which appears to be a fine nymphing rod. I will post pictures soon.
My favorite rivers so far are Connecticut River, Pemigewasset, Winnipesaukee, Merrimack.This year I want to fish for striper but I never fished in salt water before. Another thing I want to do in the near future is fish for wild atlantic salmon. I have some experience with the broodstocks NH fish and game stocks in the Pemigewasset every year, but I never fished for the real ones.
That's it for now, if you have any questions, feel free to ask. Thanks for accepting me on this forum.
Hi Sebastian
Welcome to the site. We are not a large group, but all have a few years of fishing behind us.
I like to think that amongst the lot of us we could answer most questions about fly fishing.
The members here are also a friendly bunch and will not hesitate to try and get under
your skin if you don't cheer for the right hockey team or race car driver. Do not hesitate to post
any questions you have. I had a quick look at your blog.....Magnificent photos....Please note that you can
create your own album on this site.
Things are quiet on the site at present...but that should change in the next few weeks as the new
fishing season approaches.
Again....Welcome ...and please enjoy the site.
Warmest Regards-Stephen
Welcome Sebastian I saw the photos in your blog, most impressive. Nice pic of that brookie on your post. Hope you enjoy the site, good group of folks here.
Sebastian
The photo's you posted are a little large and cause the page to move to far right. To correct this try using the attachments option on a post. Before you do the post go to this post which shows you how to place the photo's in your post. Try it it is real nice and the flashbox works very nice. Have taken the time to read "It all starts with a 12 foot culm of bamboo" article on the home page, about making a bamboo fly rod.
Thanks for coming and ask away about fishing.

Were do you live in New Hampshire?? I am thinking of trying Alton Bay (southern end of Winny) for salmon on Sat. Any chance you can meet me there in the morning?? Let me know here on this thread, or PM me with the message system here.
Keep in touch.
Lee
Hi Lee!
I wanna meet with you but I don't think I can make it in the morning, I got some stuff to do until approx 3 PM. I could be there around 3:30 pm if it's not too late. I live in Northfield, which is at exit 19 on I-93. It takes me approx 35-40 min to get to Alton, depending on trafic. Are you planning to fish the bay or the Merrymeeting River?
Welcome sebastian, hope you like the site and will participate in it.
