Death of Bill Tapply
I just learned of the death of Bill Tapply. His dad was the Tapply of Tap's Tips and Tap's hairbug. The younger Tapply wrote a wonderful column for American Angler and was the author of a number of excellent mystery novels, including the Brady Coyne series. I understand he died of Leukemia.
Very sad!

That's a voice that will be sorely missed. I always enjoyed his work. He wrote from a basic joy and love of the sport that we don't get to see enough of anymore. It wasn't about the biggest fish or the best equipment with him as much as just going out and fishing.
