Al Campbell Too Simple Elk Hair Caddis
I tied and fished this pattern this weekend to to some bluegill on my home waters. They ate it up. Al's advise and guidance will be missed. I feel sorry for the people who come to flyfishing in the future that will not have the opportunity for direct contact with Al. We love and respect your memory Al.

Al is no longer with us, but those who come after us, will still have Al's written word to read and learn from. I will be among the first to by Al's Book when it is finally published. Books are a "Paying Forward" form of sharing. It is too bad, that I will not be able to get it autographed by Al, like he did my copy of his "Beginners Fly Tying" series, when I brought it with me to the 1999 South Dakota Fish-In (that Al Campbell hosted).
At the moment I am copying and pasting everything Al has ever submitted to FAOL (it is all over the place down in the archives), when I am finished I will offer a CD to anyone interested, free of cost, no "Free Will" offering will be accepted for this CD. I am doing this CD, for my mentor (Al Campbell), who never thought of cost when he was helping me.

Down in the bottom of the Itty Bitty Pool.
Swam Three Little Fishies, and a Mommy Fishy too.
"Swim", said the Mommy Fishy, "Swim if you can!"
And they, swam swam, all over the Dam.

Put me down for one of those CD's, if you don't mind.
Won't you even accept a stack of blank CD's for your work?
Al was a special guy...a one-of-a-kind. I will miss him.

A friend is not who knows you the longest, but the one who came and never left your side.
Don't look back, we ain't goin' that way.
Steven I also would like one of those CD's, but please let us at least send you some blanks and or postage to help. Thanks John

I would be honoured to accept another of your generous offerings Steven, as usual if anyone in the UK wants a copy feel free to point them my way.

Work is a means for people to afford their fishing.
I too would like to get a copy of the CD. If I can do anything to help out including blank CDs and/or postage I would be happy to.
Ditto the others. I would love one and the least we could do is to cover the disc and shipping. Fantastic idea by the way. RC

I would love to have one also.
I'll gladly cover postage and blank CD cost, or make a donation to the FAOL...
