My name is Robert Thompson. I've been fishing as far back as I can remember. I caught my first
         brook trout at age nine, that changed things. I cast my first fly rod six years ago, that really changed
         things.  I originally created this site as a resource for beginning fly fishers, but have since somewhat
         changed it's focus. I feel I am still a beginner so I hope through my trial and error
         (and there has been a lot) folks who are embarking on this wonderful journey may find some useful
          information here.
                          I was born in Montana (more years ago than I would care to admit), grew up in NE Michigan and currently reside in the south loop of Chicago with my  girlfriend Deb and our dog Misa.

If i'm not fishing chances are you can find me at the local rink. I've been  playing hockey since I was five. I still play in a couple leagues and coach in the winter months. My other interests include music, guitars and snow skiing.

Feel free to drop me a note and let me know what you think...
