Who wants to go fishing? - 8/8/2008 3:47:54 PM

Status: offline 		So, after having been on here a ton the past few days, and having read through the entire "thoughts on steelhead post" I realized that it's been a while since I had personally done anything truly considerate or helpful on this board. And I do realize that there are a number of well-intentioned folks on here, who merely need to be steered in the right direction, so...

I am offering to take one or two people with me sometime when conditions warrant. I live North of Pittsburgh, so if you're interested, please PM me. Ideally, I would love to show someone new to the sport around- or a father/son/daughter, etc... While this is not a "guided" trip per se, it would be a chance for someone to perhaps see some new water, learn what few tricks and techniques I have to offer, and hopefully gain an appreciation for what truly is a remarkable fishery. Also, they need to fly fish- not that I have anything against bait fishing mind you, it's just that I'm not a very good spin fisherman, and would have far less to offer on that front (perhaps someone more versed in that would like to offer the same?)

Anyway, if you're interested, I would love to help a newcomer out. Please PM me- the first reasonable response will be the one- again, this is simply me offering to help someone- it can be anyone on here too, but please, not someone who really knows what they're doing- this is meant to offer assistance to someone who needs a hand. If anyone else would like to volunteer and help out (maybe on the same day?) please feel free to join us...

Dan

Status: offline 		Formerguide,
   I live in Erie, and have fished here my whole life. I would be happy to assist in your "newbie adventure". I have always enjoyed turning on new guys (or girls) to the sport. Watching someone get infected with this wonderful disease is one of my favorite pastimes. Same rules as you stated......newbies only! But i would be happy to help.....you can pm me if u want to take me up on this.

Thank you! I appreciate your offer, and will happily accept it- btw, this is the same formerguide as above- for whatever reason, I have been unable to log in at home, thus the guise of "formerguideII" I'm afraid...

Shut-

My apologies, I should have been clearer in my original post... Steelhead, Erie trib (OH, PA or NY) and whenever is agreeable for all!

Thank you to all who may be considering this- I will have access to my PM's on Mon and will answer accordingly...

Dan

Status: offline 		WOW! Came in in to work today at the crack of dawn, and was surprised and delighted to see my in-box full with responses! I will make a decision here shortly, based upon a random selection of those who have asked to be considered... if it goes well, I may try again to give someone else a chance.

ShutUp has graciously offered to help out with someone on spinfishing techniques- if anyone is interested in that, please PM me and we can all reconvene in a few weeks time and come up with a time that is agreeable for all!

Thanks again, and I'll give this another week's time for others to throw their hats in for consideration. If I have not replied by PM yet to your inquiries, my apologies, I will do so as soon as possible.

Dan

What, do you have a problem with roaches in your house?
That's the only reason I'd want a pic of his mug around!  lol


Nice thing your doing here, Formerguide!

RALPH! This is Joh 3:16's elderly friend and neighbor- John3:16/Matt- I PM'ed you my cell number- give me a call and we will coordinate our dates!

To all others who asked to be considered, as well as those who offered assistance as well, thank you and you have my thanks. If this goes well, and time permitting, I will hold another drawing for those who didn't win- also, I sent out e-mails to 2 of you who I thought really were deserving of some assistance, but have received no replies, so I will PM you 2 again, and hopefully I can help you guys in some way too!

Again, John3:16, please check your inbox- can't wait to get out on the water! Also, sent a few flies out this morning to some guys who requested them- sorry for the delay!

Dan

Status: offline 		Sweet!!!  Dan just got your pm and I threw one back at you!  I've got a triaxle of firewood to cut up tonight (or attempt) so I may not get to call tonight, depends on what time the sun and artificial lighting craps out on me.  Can't wait to tell Ralph! 

Thanks Dan!
