SearchingSolitude 0 Report post Posted February 20, 2011 Dick's was the first Fly-Tying video I ever watched courtesy of my local public library. The Elk Hair Caddis and Wooly Bugger if I remember correctly.. I learned alot from him and his techniques. Another legend passes away. Where are the next generations legends? -Searching Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
