The other day, Tom from Fiberglass Flyrodders emailed to say that the online forum was down due to a system upgrade. He wasn't sure when it would be back up and if anything would be broken when it did come back online. For a forum owner, that's kind of scary and fortunately just a little while later the forum was back without any glitches. Whew...
I joined the FFR forum in 2006 and that was when membership was less than 300. Fast forward to now, and there are over 7,900 members. That shows you how much interest has grown over the years for glass fly rods and new members are joining almost daily.

There is an incredible amount of knowledge within the over 31,000 different topics on the board and many of the members are rod builders, worked in various rod shops over the years, collectors, anglers, and brain trusts on all things fiberglass. It's downright amazing.
Fair warning though, not only did the forum solidify my interest in fiberglass fly rods, it also sent me on a journey into vintage fly reels that spawned Martin and J.W. Young collections.
Jump over to the Fiberglass Flyrodders forum this weekend and give it a look if you haven't. Join and be part of a growing and active community of 'GLASS GEEKS'.
