Finally getting around to creating one of these!

 

Hey Y'all,

I'm a 30yo special education teacher that enjoys fishing during my free time. I've been a fly fisher (trout mainly) much longer than I've been a bass angler. Much of that has to do with going to school in PA a few hours away from some of the best trout streams in the country. Moving back to Upstate NY, while there are a few trout streams, has seen me get heavier into targeting other species. Bought my first baitcaster this year and have really started enjoying bass fishing. The main places I fish are in my profile but 95% of the time i'm bank beating unless I happen to borrow a kayak or rent a boat for a day here and there. Won't lie, I'm happiest wading up a stream with a fly rod but as I'm fleshing out my arsenal and improving my presentations bass are quickly becoming favorites. Tight lines! 

Double stickfish! Ned rigs and small tubes for creek SMB with a buddy and SNAG!

 

Other times it works out as planned! 

Welcome aboard!

Hello and Welcome!

Welcome....................and if you want to get off the bank, and drive a little to the south,I have a long standing policy that all WNY Bass Resource members are invited on my boat to either fish Silver or Conesus.............at least once LOL...............except for clayton86 

Welcome - I live in Penfield, and similar to you, was mostly into trout fishing until a few years ago.  I started getting into bass fishing more and was really helped out by the advice I received from this site.  When I get a chance now, I fish mostly the smallest finger lakes out of my ultralight canoe.  

Because of the information gathered from the experienced and really helpful folks here, I am able to go out and have more fun, catching more fish.   Best of luck; you will really benefit from the stuff you can learn here.

Welcome. Wading through a stream doesn't sound too bad actually. 

Welcome also from Rochester new York and glad to have you
