Hey,

I'm Brian and I'm from East Syracuse, NY. I'm 23 and I've spent all 23 years here in Syracuse, except for the college years where I was at Fredonia State in Western NY earning a B.S. in Geology. I've also been fishing all 23 years and fly fishing for about the last 13 of them. I love to fish. I don't really care what kind of fishing it is, I love to fish. I do have a strong preference for fly fishing though. I'm real competitive by nature. Played sports all my life and played baseball in college so the thrill of competition and fun involved with competition will never fade. Looking forward to meeting some new people and hopefully trying competitive fly fishing and seeing how I fare and how far I can take it. Should be a blast and looking forward to share stories and adventures with good people along the way.

Until next time, tight lines everybody.

I used to go to Bills training camp there and I also did some bad things in the dorms when my wife was there. It was also a good launch point to hit the local steelhead haunts.
