I'm 53 years old. My hobbies are fly fishing and bicycling for fitness. I ride 3500+ miles per year. When the weather is favorable, if I am not on my bike, I am on the trout stream. We have two fine trout streams within one hour of my home. If I want to venture further, the Bois Brule and Namekagon are 3-4 hours away. My wife fishes also. She is an excellent caster. She will also join me on a bicycle ride. This year we have two fishing trips to Montana planned. I grew up in Pennsylvania, was educated in Pa., Mo., and NYC. I have been an Anesthesiologist for the last 19 years. I plan on working 9-10 more years followed by a move to a climate more favorable for year-round fishing and bicycling. My collection of cane includes an Eden Cane 4 weight, a Spring Creek 4 weight by Tom Nigro and a 5 weight by Don Schroeder. My wife fishes a Bellinger/Santiam 4 weight and a 5 weight by Dave Norling. I have a 5 weight on order from Chris Carlin(Arctic Cane). When we are not fishing cane, our graphite choices are the Winston WT and BIIx.
