Well, I finally gave into peer pressure, and joined this forum. I was also told by a couple people to introduce myself, so here it goes:
My name is Jess and I’m from the Olympic Peninsula, where I grew up fishing the salt for rockfish and salmon, and the rivers for salmon and steelhead (using spoons, spinners and feather jigs under cork floats) I’ve lived in a few places in the county, but settled in Eastern WA. I mostly converted to fly fishing a couple years ago, and it’s been one of the best choices I’ve ever made. I love the community for the most part and I’ve honed in my still water skills, which was a struggle for me in my spinner fishing days.
Which prompts me to ask the question: if you’re a convert, what caused you to switch to the fly fishing team? I wanted to be more effective with trout on lakes and had a feeling this would do it.
If I look/ sound familiar, I post on the FFW Facebook page and I’m on Instagram as yak_queen_509. The “yak” part referencing my love for kayak fishing.
Anyway, I look forward to seeing how this forum experience goes.
