Another sad bit of news......

[quadfish]

I just found out today that a friend to many of us, JB Martin, passed away on September 19th. There are no further details to my knowledge.

Here is a link to the obituary: http://www.legacy.com/obituaries/app/ob ... =172519427

May he rest in peace. He was a good guy and helped to rekindle my interest in fly fishing and tying back in 2006. He will be missed.

I'm sorry to hear this. I never met JB , it was his site that got me fired up about the Catskill's and it's history...

I found out this morning and am deeply saddened by the news. As Rick said i started out on catskill flies and then classic trout. I learned so much from JB and CJ on fly tying, rod making and the tradition of fly fishing. I considered JB as a mentor in many ways, my first flyfest was an extroidanary expierience for me one i will never forget. With all of everyones time constaints i only wish i could spend more time with the sport and the people I love. RIP my friend and may your steams always be full of fish.

It is sad anytime a brother/sister of the longrod passes on to greener pastures and waters we never fished before.... R.I.P...
