SilverCreek 0 Report post Posted March 18, 2020 It has been 18 years since Gary LaFountaine passed. I suppose many of the new fly fishers on this BB don't recognize the name, but those of us who have been at this a while understand that we lost a unique fly fishing author who introduced the methods and patterns for fly fishing for caddis that are now taken for granted. Here is a conversation with Gary for those of us that still remember him and those newbies who should know about him. https://www.weber.edu/weberjournal/Journal_Archives/Archive_C2/Vol_20_1/GLaFontaineConv.html Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jacks Grampa 0 Report post Posted March 29, 2020 Remember him well. My wife bought all of his books for me. Signed and usually with a fly. Is A.K. Best still with us? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Edward Snowden 0 Report post Posted March 30, 2020 Grampa, I went to Wikipedia to find the answer to your question but was shocked to find that A.K. Best has no mention, other than co-author on couple of John Gierach's books. You would think a person with Mr. Best's talents and reputation would have his own page.
