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 four years ago, that really changed things.

I created this site as a resource for beginning fly fishers. I feel i am still a
beginner so i hope through my trial and error (and there has been many)
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.
