Posts: 42 03/26/2009 14:00	Tags : None Gentlemen I had the pleasure of meeting a man, who is 102. He has been a dry flyfisherman all his life. He made his own bamboo rods, and did his own flies. I spent the better part of an hour with this gentleman. he was given a birthday party from Trout Unlimited on his 100th birthday. Randy Gordon was the president then. Long story short my friends. There still is so much history in our older friends. I enjoyed meeting this man. I got a lot of advice to better my game as well! Thank you to all of you old fisherman out there. Nice day

There experience is passed on by me to my son's and others and so it goes on. . . . It's one of the things that makes the forum so great.
