If we caught fish on every trip, it would be called " Catching". We don't, and that's why it's called "Fishing".

Herman, and boy are we glad you joined UA!
 
Strange that our fly fishers ("wool chuckers") seem to be increasing, there is even a healthy interest and involvement in fly fishing by many of the other disciplines during their "off seasons".
 
I would be happy to see our fly fishing department grow and grow.

Thanks for the kind words Toppie.
 I was one of the first members on Flytalk about 8 years ago. Advice, trips to the Vaal for newbies ( which I was ), and good natured banter with the odd full blooded confrontation were the order of the day.
Sadly the "old guard" have got g*tvol of the crap that goes on lately. There is far less advice, trips arranged, etc. It's now "My dick ,or rod is better than yours. "

Ziggy, most of the "hardcore" members from Flytalk are already on UA. I know I was very controversial ( which was totally unwarranted , and for which I apologised ) on here when I first joined.
UA forgave me for me indiscretion, plus the  advise on any topic is freely given.
 
I'm sure that with word of mouth and personal interaction we can  turn The Fly Fishing thread into a Must Read. :-)
