vicrider 0 Report post Posted March 22, 2024 Thank you for posting that. Kim was a favorite member to many of us. He will be greatly missed and I and the board members can only express our sympathy to your family and pray for your strength to carry on and keep him in your memories. The swap flies are a minor thing as he ran many fun and successful swaps on this and other boards. I will post this on this board and send you our board condolences to your email.

Trouttramp 0 Report post Posted March 22, 2024 Very well said Nick. I would second everything you wrote. Kim was one of the most enthusiastic members of this forum, ESPECIALLY the fly swaps. Tim aka TroutTramp Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

psychoprince 0 Report post Posted March 25, 2024 Very saddened to hear this news this morning. Kims excitement and lighthearted attitude towards fly tying, fly fishing and life in general will be sorely missed. Rest easy and tight lines. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
