Had the pleasure of taking out Bob and his buddy Keith the last few days. Both great guys to spend some time with on the water. Bob's been around a while, and like myself, loves the craft of fly tying. Bob gave me some original Al Troth flies that Al tied for him some years ago. Al originated the Elk Hair Caddis. Al has recently passed away but his flies will have a good home in a shadow box overlooking the Truckee River. BTW, the fishing is very good up here.
