Hello, Everyone.  I'm a new user from Erie, PA.  I've been fly fishing for just over fifty years and tying flies just as long.  I've yet to fish in Maine but hope to remedy that the last week of June 2015.  In the meantime I'll be gathering  information regarding trout and salmon waters.  I already know this will be a multiple-trip engagement given the variety of water ME has, not to mention NH and north into Canada.

I should probably also mention that I purchased One-Pfoot from Bill Franke in 2012 and have been having a lot of fun making the parts that he so enjoyed as well.  I intended to simply write am article about Akron Medalists and other "hardware store" fly tackle -- the kind of tackle I use almost exclusively -- but ran into Bill's parts during my research.  My friend at the fishing magazine never got the article but I believe we're still friends.

I look forward to following this page.  I'm sure it will help me with my trip planning.

Best regards,

Dan 

Will do, Lee.  The great pictures in your Small Stream forum make me think I also need to schedule a trip devoted solely to exploring the White Mountains. 

Hi Dan and welcome to the site! Hope you have a great trip to Maine in 2015. What rivers are you planning to fish?

If you get a chance, a little fishing in the White Mountains is also nice. Hope to see you sometime.
