    Howdy!

    I just joined, so I thought I’d introduce myself. My name is the pyromaniac, and I am a fishing addict.

    I live in the southwest corner of Virginia, and do mostly bass and rough fishing. I caught my 60th species in December.

    I’m hoping to contribute here and learn something that will help me get close to 200 species.

    Welcome to IDO. 60 different species of fish is amazing. Do you travel or all caught in the US?

    Thanks for the welcome, vatos! 55 of the 60 were caught in southwest and central Virginia, 4 surf/pier fishing in NC and SC, and one in a small river in France.

    Most of my fishing here is in small to medium-sized rivers like the Clinch, Guest, Powell, Russell Fork, Pound, Cranesnest, Holston, Roanoke, Pigg, upper James, Blackwater, Little, and Little Pigeon Rivers. I fish a lot of small streams and farm ponds as well.

    I’m hoping that by 2014 I can fish Brasil (wife is from there), Mexico (one of my fishing buddies just built a house), France (I know a guy in Nice), Spain (I know a guy in Zaragoza and a guy in Andalusia), and Germany (I know a guy in München and one of my fishing buddies knows several guys in Marburg).

    Welcome PyroMan. I myself grew up in northern Minn,joined the Navy, met my wife and stayed for 20 years. I tried to get into fishing down there, but when you learn in the best fishery in the U.S., you get spoiled. But, I kid you not, Virginia is the most beautiful state in this country. I lived in Va.Beach, Chesapeake,Norfolk,and near Appomatox. I truely miss Va. But the fishing is much better up here. Wait until the first time you walk onto A frozen lake or the “Ol Miss”.Shoot me a PM.Go Cavs!!!!!
