Hi Costa ? ( may be introduce yourself first).

Welcome to the site, hope you enjoy it and hopefully we see some reports. Reports on fly fishing would be even better.

Cheers

Bri.

Thanks Bri, dont get to do a lot of fly fishing anymore due to where i live. Mainly saltwater fishing now for whiting etc. Have also been catching crayfish during the summer using dropnets (provides some interesting moments).

[Bi_polar]

Are you a shop Costa or are you a fisherman with second hand books to sell?

[elops]

Given the nature of the stocklist and descriptions thereof Stu maybe just a trout nut/bibliophile.
