 Hi Rick welcome to the site and I hope I see you on the water! I thought I was the only Central Florida bream flyfisherman!

Thanks for the welcome and comments guys.  It's good to hear from you all. And, just for the record, I am not related to old Angel Eyes (Lee Van Cleef).

Welcome, Van Clued. Any relation to Lee?

I'm another fan of the older Shakespeare stuff, liker the "Wonder" series. It was all quality made to last, mostly by hand in the good Ol USA.
I used to live in FL, too. Great fishing!

Hey Rick you will fit in just fine a man who love's to fish with a Shakespeare glass rod you will fit right in. Tooty is our glass rod expert and I know you'll be hearing from him just type loud cause he's kinda hard or hearing. Good luck and GOOD FISHIN....

Good afternoon everyone.  I'm new here and this will be my first post or comment.  I live in Central Florida.  My only rod at present is an old 8'-0" 6wt. Wonderod that I have had since the late 50's and have recently rebuilt and refinished.  It may be overkill for bream, but I'm working on a new 6'-6" fiberglass Tadpole which should throw a 4wt.  I fish my own flies in the local lakes which there are many of in my town, several in walking distance from my house.  I'm looking forward to being a part of this group.

Hahahaha......If you was as old as me you would be fishing out of a dugout.

Comment by Steve Totten on April 14, 2013 at 8:16am

I have an old Bass Tracker Ray.  It's almost as old as me.

Comment by Ray Ditzenberger on April 14, 2013 at 7:54am

That is some nice look'in  water. It appears that you are fishing out of some sort of water craft. May I inquire as to type of craft you use?
