Hi yall. Ran across this site by accident, I love fishing and most anything associated with it. Eleven years ago I went in for a routine quad bypass procedure, and came out with my left side mostly paralyzed. It pretty well retarded my ability to get around to fish, but not entirely . I still get to go to Canada every year and get to fish off a pontoon boat. Still get a rush. 30 years ago I took a crack at building a rod, and thoroughly enjoyed it. That is ho I ran across TU I stopped by this site took a look and am totally fascinated at the skills and ideas displayed here. I hope to be maybe a smidgen at being able to acquire some of these skills, even though I only have full use of one arm, and part of the other, I have a couple of projects in mind. As I progress in knowledge and skill I hope to create something worthy of mention on this great site.I'm an old codger by years but in spite of it all I still feel pretty young.
