New to site and fly fishing

[Scarecrow]

I got a fly rod for Christmas and caught my first brown on a fly Monday. I am a die hard bass tournament fisherman but I am really enjoying the fly rod. I mainly will be fishing the smith river but am open to suggestions of any other good streams near Martinsville, Va.

pull up a chair around the campfire, there are a few of us who fish the Smith from time to time..
no small feat to catch a Smith Brown in the dead of winter...

Ahhh, I remember the bass tournament fishing days.  Started fly fishing and I haven't picked up a spinning rod or bait caster in 3 years.  Much more fun catching bass on a fly rod IMO.  Use to be a member of bass master but never renewed after a year of fly fishing.  You'll probably laugh at this post, but you just may catch the bug I did.......  Welcome aboard.

Yep, did my share of bass tournaments. Got out when folks became so serious about winning that cheating took over. I still fish with all types of gear but fly fishing is my favorite.

BTW I see you are from Figsboro - have we met. If not, why not?  Please come to the next Smith River TU meeting on March 1st and introduce yourself.  See meeting announcement elsewhere on this forum.
