Northwest Fishing Reports

WL.com is very pleased and excited to announce a new addition to our Featured Writers section. "Feathers to Fins" by Marc Martyn will explore all aspects related to the fine art of fly fishing. Be sure to check out his column. Welcome aboard Marc!

Looking forward to some of Marc's readings...Always thought he makes some sweet posts, looking forward to it....Great addition Mike!

Marc,
I read your first offering and I'm more that convinced that you are spot on. Elitism is prevalent in our sport but I for one can show you how to go "fly fishing" without spending all of your gas money. There is a reason I call myself Lotech Joe, and it's because I've learned how to fly fish without spending a 2nd mortgage. If you learn to use cheap (inexpensive) gear well, you can fish with the pro's. Whatever fish you are after, you can use budget equipment and do well. I also agree with you, that as you get to be a better fly fisher, you start to demand equipment that performs better and you look to the more expensive equipment to meet your needs. It seems to be a learning curve in process.
It's an addiction, and it is a very fine addiction. Welcome to fly fishing!

Mike or Aaron moved a couple of things around on the page, but I think that the original page content is the same except for adding one more writers link. I may be wrong though.

Uncle Wes was retired due to lack of participation.

You see Fishinislife, you are not the crazy one, I am!:geek:

I knew it. And I have read all his stuff too. I had a feeling it was something like that but I didn't want to sound retarded. So where are his articles going to go? Will we still be able to enjoy them?


BTW Marc, I think you have the start of something great. I enjoyed the read and had no clue about the history of flyfishing and its beginnings. It is always neat to learn new things about our sport. Great work sir, I am looking forward to every issue of "Feathers To Fins".

His articles are part of the database and will be available always. JUst do a search under "Uncle Wes" and click the "Articles" tab. The search tool just gets better - and it needs to with over ten years of posted reports, articles, and everything else!

Is there a way to put a link on the home page to the list of articles in the archives? They are great articles.

I believe Aaron is doing this in the update.

Congratulations, Marc! I am looking forward to your articles!
