Fly fishing is fun..only done it on a few occasions though. Where do you usually go?

woot another water polo player. I played polo in highschool for 3 years, now am in my first year at Bloomsburg University, and play for the team there. I used to do some soccer when I was a little kid during the summer. Also play table tennis and used to play on my church's volleyball team. I don't really follow any sport on tv. I will follow the Eagles Football(American) team for a while, though mostly just watch them in the play offs. Also I try to watch the USA Olympic Water Polo team during the Olympics, though I have so far always missed them.[/quote]

I "worked" as a guide in Montana for 3-4 years, after moving to NH, I have given up on trout (I was spoiled in MT :twisted: ) and will usually go for bass. I have also made a few trips to the Redding area of CA, beautiful area.

Wow! Really, where in MT? I lived in Bozeman, and also had a place on the Bighorn River. Some of the best trout fishing in the world, and I left it.... I'm still kicking myself. lol

Dang we got some athletic guys in here :) Lazy I thinks rules all. Wish I could attend S25, too young to make the decision on my own though haha.[/quote]

I play goalie, I am far to slow for the field since I have only done 1 year on the swim team unlike the rest of the team members who are always on the swim team. It takes me 40 seconds to swim 50m. Also I have had some experience as a goalie before like in soccer, and it does help a bit that I am taller than most of the players on the team so my arms are longer :D Also for some reason, the ball seems to be attracted to me head. :?

haha i played goalie my freshman year since i too played soccer goalie but i took a polo camp at princeton university and dramatically improved my ball handling and shot power so i became center :D i'm also relatively fast, 25 s for the 50 m, though i swim the 500 free during swim season so im also very endurent, and rarely get pulled for rest. our goalie is a state recognized goalie, and I'm on the ballot for statewide center as well, which would help with college alot haha
