Boy did I attend an outstanding presentation last nite by Bob Jacklin. Bob brought down from West Yellowstone a snowshoe hare's foot for me, since there are few left on retail shelves in the USA!!! 80,000 feet went bad held by the supplier. Bob put on a slide show on the people/anglers he met over his long, and storied career from the time he left NY as a 22 yr. old headed out to West Yellowstone to begin guiding, doing taxidermy work,and tying flies. And the history/photos of the Yellowstone area. His photos were priceless....fishing with Lee Wulff to stories, and pictures of the Catskill tiers before he left. And before hand I sat front, and center, and watched Bob tie 3 patterns that were raffled off after the presentation, and picked up on some tying techniques watching him tie. I slept well last nite.
