  1. I remember Jason Lucas very well. He did not write much about fly fishing; his forte was bait casting for bass. He had the longest cantilevered tackle box I ever saw; it was wooden and had about 6 cantilevered shelves on each side. The real fly fishing magazine writers of the day were Joe Brooks and A.J. McClane. Lee Wulff was big too but not in magazines. Island Bob
  2. I’m 69 and just starting out in fly fishing and fly tying. I’m all about learning tying and fishing on YouTube and the internet. I can’t learn anything by looking at a recipe for a fly in a book but I enjoy good instructional books on the subject too. I also don’t know who George Daniels is; but you may find it interesting to read and watch videos about Joe Humphries. He is arguably one of the greatest educators this sport has known. He’s about 92 and still doing it. Island Bob
  3. Well I’m off to a very late start in fly fishing and fly tying. I’m at the beginning of Skip Morris’ book and I’m slowly working my way through. When I started I bought books authored by the LeTort Spring Creek guys I read about as a kid. They are Ed Koch, Ed Shenk, and Vince Marinaro (I think Lefty was one of that crowd too). I think they were kind of pioneers in the tying of terrestrials. Bob
