I'm not volunteering anyone, but I have to tell a story of my own.
When I moved to Utah I wanted to learn fly fishing badly. As most of us know fly fishing is not a trial and error sport. You will never learn as well as having someone show you in person.
That being said I made a post a very long time ago asking for help. No joke I had 4 or 5 Utah BFT members PM me offering assistance. I met up with a longtime BFT member at his house, with my little boy even, and he helped me out big time. He took me to the local fly shop to get my reel setup with line and backing, introduced me around. We went to a local pond for some intro to fly casting practice. I left his house that day with a new friend, some free waders and a handful of flies.
Point of this little tale is this. Never be hesitant to ask the BFT community for help. I don't think anyone on these boards can say they have ever been ignored when reaching out for assistance.
