AHHH It’s ok! Wasn’t me… He don’t live in Rome but in the north of Italy (beyond the barrier

Ah, well, I thought we had perhaps crossed paths before. But sometimes I make wrong interpretations of clues. The youtube channel - mmmuuuccc - seemed to perhaps match the first 3 letters in your middle name - Muccino. 
However, thanks for joining this forum. Looking forward to your input. I used to frequently look at some of the tenkara blogs in Italy, but haven’t looked at them for a couple of years.

Badger Creek, Victoria, Australia. I live on the Badger and regularly catch wild brown trout in it. This creek hasn’t been stocked since the 1960’s so all the trout are self replenishing. Not sure if that is the correct term but it will do!
Cheers,
Steve.

I’m a novice at Tenkara and fishing as a whole. I only started this last summer.
I’ve spent most my time on the streams and alpine lakes of the western Cascades. I had a few months in Colorado Springs that showed me how good trout waters can get. Now I’m trying to chase that high in my local water… with little luck. If any local anglers know some good hike-and-fish locations I’m all ears.

Stephen,
It’s great to see you post again. I hope all is well. Keep fishing for those beautiful brown trout.
Hello, I’m in Washington State, south of Puyallup. I’m fortunate to live 25 minutes from the Puget Sound (saltwater, Sea Run Coastal Cutthroat), and less than 1 hour equidistant from four different river systems that all have healthy populations of resident native Coastal Cutthroat Trout.

Spokane Washington now, have fished some streams up in the NE corner of the state, good cutthroat and rainbow fishing. Miss my S WA Cascade streams and will be making a trip or two to my old haunts this season. North Id will be on my list this year of new fishing destinations. Still getting used to the idea of fishing in grizzly country, bear spray and a three five seven are my constant companions up north.

I am new to the forum and happy to have found it. I live in Amarillo, Texas, which is way up in the Panhandle region. We are closer to Albuquerque and to Oklahoma City than we are to Dallas. We get big snows every year.
Unfortunately we don’t have rivers or streams to speak of.The (Texas) Canadian and Red Rivers flow through the area but most of the year they look like a muddy ditch. We have a couple of nice lakes and some park ponds that are stocked for trout in the winter time, but I haven’t caught any on flies yet.
My wife loves most things outdoors: camping, hiking, biking, and backpacking. She has taken our 4 kids every summer on weeks-long tent camping excursions. I don’t always get to go with them but sometimes I get to.
I’ve been chatting with @R_Ruff about spots in New Mexico for Tenkara trout fishing. He recommended some of her favorite backpacking spots for tenkara trout fishing, so I might finally buy some lighter equipment and a pack this year. In general I prefer the comfort of car camping where I can bring all manner of stuff I don’t need.
Also trying to figure out how to do warm water Tenkara. This year I have trips planned to Colorado Bend State Park near Austin Tx and the South Llano River near Junction Tx and I plan to fish mostly Tenkara there (though at the last minute I will probably break down and pack my light action spinning rod and similar tackle).
My 14-year-old son loves fishing and is better at it than me. He is more than 6 ft tall already (I’m barely 5’7”) and he has reeled in some big ones. So far he has no interest in any kind of fly fishing. But he’s always happy to go along.
Just got into fly tying, too, and I am suitably terrible at it.

Welcome. You will learn plenty here.

Lost Maples is another place I’ve heard mentioned for Guadalupe bass. As far as sloppy fly tying, my brother has access to special dubbing that I send him periodically from my maine coon’s hairbrush. His flies are tied rather sloppily. He catches the same if not more fish than I do when we take our annual trips.

We had reservations there about 5 y ago but it is a long hike from Amarillo so we cancelled. This might be my year though. J. Evans from San Antonio sent me pics and tips for fishing there .
I am blessed to live and fish in east Tennessee, a stone’s throw from the South Holston and surrounded by mountain streams in Cherokee National Forest. Looking forward to learning from this group!

Sounds like a great place, welcome to the group!
Thanks!
Billings, Montana. I primarily fish in the 944,000 acre Beartooth wilderness, but I also travel the state regularly and fish every where I go.
Brad, have you ever fished the North Fork of the Holston, Wilson Creek, Green Cove, or White Top Laurel on the VA side?
I have only fished on the TN side. Beaverdam is the closest I’ve gotten to the state line. Have heard great things about White Top Laurel.

I spend 95% of my time fishing a lake ontario tributary system that has resident trout (and some natural reproduction with heavy stocking on top of them) year round (several points of access 10-15 minutes drive from home). I’ve started venturing out to inland creeks nearby and have fished ADK and the eastern end of the state a little bit when visiting family.
I do like the idea of travel, but could spend a couple more decades on my local creek and never figure it out to my satisfaction. The most enticing destinations, though, are little blue lines in the adirondacks and south of here (PA too), and the driftless – but dedicated fishing trips are unlikely in the next couple years. I’m sure there are worthwhile blue lines much closer to me but I haven’t spent the time on those yet.
