Al Campbell, Field Editor

Our dear friend Al Campbell passed away from incurable brain cancer April 28, 2005. We miss him very much. His writing remains here in hopes he can help yet more people who wish to learn fly fishing, tying, and rod building...or just share his passion for the outdoors. You will find an obituary honoring him HERE.
