Welcome Alban Horrocks to The Fly Tying Bug!

Hi Rick B
Thanks for the warm welcome
I'm a 67 year old fisherman,retired, and I run a private fishery. My hobbies are all to do with fishing and fly tying. I've been fishing for over 50 years and tying for 11. I'm on a forum in the UK and I'm part of a group called the Lancsy Lads as we mainly come from and fish in Lancashire.I'm not a skilled tier but get by and the trout haven't objected yet. I look forward to joining this forum and hopefully contributing.

Alban Horrocks

Well a BIG WELCOME Alban

bloody hell we are getting invaded... ..Oh well it was bound to happen once Byron got the "go for it"...by yours truly... ..Alban..now don't let either Bill or Byron down now ..so join in the light hearted banter , North Americans are a friendly lot who like a good time...and this is a very relaxing site to be in...............cheers m8......Daniel

Welcome aboard Alban. Think you,ll find these guys are a very friendly lot and I doubt they get easily offended! Do you guys? Hope we can get most of the Lancsy Lads on here and have a bit of english style friendly banter.

Sounds good Byron any of them be Welsh Or Irish I would like some more river wet flies for ideas m8s still hoping some young lad will post them and the more the merrier and yes we mostly be thick skinned when it comes to banter just ask the WOOOOLfie he be from the out back of Canada

Glad you're here. Sounds like you have many years of experience to share. Looking forward to your post!

Welcome Alban !!!

Hi Debs
Keep it informal it's Alban or Alby to my friends. Thanks for the welcome I'm not sure what to expect but I believe if your friendly people are friendly back . It may take me a while but I hope to settle in and fit in to this new forum.

Hi CanonG
Yes, I'm sorry if I've lowered the tone of the Forum us Lancsy Lads are a bit of a rowdy bunch. I hope to have a bit of fun on this forum. See you around.

Hi Neil
Fancy coming across you here. Do they have a friends list? I haven't worked out how to get around the forum yet.
Your almost and honary member of the Lancsy Lads so maybe we should establish the group here?

Hi Qfly
Thanks for the welcome. It already feels like I've been in the forum a while.

Hi Avril
I write a magazine and I run a fly fishing club but I find I never stop learning . This is where joining a Forum is invaluable you learn so much from others. I'm looking forward to meeting more forum members.

Hi Chris
Thanks for the big welcome. I'm sure I'm going to enjoy being part of this forum.

Thanks Everyone for the welcome.Well fancy meeting you here too Alban,no i haven't got a friends list together
yet mate as only joined last night so still feeling my way round I'm afraid.Sounds a good plan about a Lancsy
group,maybe Byron could sort that out seeing as he hijacked us all and has been a member on here the longest

Neil

Hmmm. Now you,re giving me ideas. Next you,ll want me to organise a fishing trip to Alberta! Mind you could think of lots worse things!

Well m8s I just had to look into that other mentioned site ouch I do no blame ya for coming over here is that a fly fishing forum or a sales site and some of the moderators wow.I like having fun on this site and as I can see so far you blokes be the same you all will be adding a few enjoyable talks on here and good banter as well so keep em coming
Bring more over Byron they all seem like fishermen to me m8
