Hello all,
As a new member I thought I'd say hello.
I live in Norwich and mostly fly fish for coarse fish.
I'm a huge fibreglass fly rod fan ... Messrs Barrio & Nelson are partly (mostly) to blame.
Having watched Carl McNeil's fly casting vids, and chatting with him via Twitter, when he started his Epic glass blank venture I stupidy expressed an interest. He put me in touch with Mike B and I ended up with a delicious Epic 580 built by Sandy Nelson ... s/n 001. I believe it was the first "commercially" produced Epic rod in the UK (excepting a prototype/test one).
Since then I now have Epics in models 476, 686, 990 and Bandit.
I also have an Epic DH11 which I built a few months ago but that's to be sold.
I've read posts on this forum since buying that first Epic and many fly lines from Mike.
Today I thought it was time I registered and joined in.
Hopefully you'll welcome a mad, southern softy coarse fly angler.
Kind regards to all here,.
JN, Norwich, UK
