Hello All!
I'm very happy to join this great group. I was presented to fly fishing at the age of 12 in the mid-90s through Brazilian fishing magazines - I'm Brazilian from the city of Sao Paulo where I live. I bought my first 1 wt rod in 2000 (Orvis 8' Clearwater) in the US while attending an exchange student program in Sidney, MT where I used to fish a spring creek nearby my home for brook trouts. Back then, searching the web, I found smallstreams.com atracted by an article referring to Orvis' "The 1 Club" - which I was never part of despite my nickname. It was also in MT where I first casted a fiberglass fly rod - which I just loved. My next objective is to merge the two passions by purchasing a "pocket" fiberglass rod for small streams fly fishing.
Thank you!
