Posts: 2608		Shane Stalcup passed away May 11 2011. I don't remember anyone talking about this here. He was only 48. I ran in to his flies on Charlie Craven's "Fly Box" web site. I have adapted some of his patterns to Michigan hatches and have had some good results...

Anyway! Just for our information...I have googled him and there is some info there but not much other than he may have had an on going health problem and that he had passed away.

He was a great fly design innovator, especially with synthetic materials. What a sad loss...:(

I'd heard in another forum about this some time ago. I admired his flies and his artistic creativity at the vise. It was truly a great loss to fly fishing.
