Update on warren patterson

[Ray]

Very Sad, Rest in peace Warren.

Very nice video keepsake. I never met him, but feel like I know him from this and his posts over the years. I did not know he was retired military. God be with his family and loved ones. Rest in peace.

Just in case you did not know previously, before Warren started fly fishing he was a local tournament bass fisherman. He told me he got tired of all the cheating in bass tournaments, which I know can be pretty common when there is a cash prize.

I just got back from Warren's funeral. It was a nice service, but it isn't how I shall remember him. I can still see him, waist-deep in the Duck River, with a smile on his face. A couple of us are planning on going down to fish the stretch of the Duck where we fished with him the most often. It seems to be the right way to remember him.

Ed, you nailed it! Throw a woolly worm or klinkhamer out there on the Duck for me, will you please?

I'll have to tie some Because I don't have any Klinks or Woolly Worms. I have plenty of Woolly Buggers, but no Worms.

We were planning on fishing the flies which we most associate with him. I'll tell the river, "This cast is from Mike." I'm sure Warren will get the message.

Ed, you're right. Cast an olive woolly bugger for me instead! That was my hottest fly on the Duck.

Thank you Wayne. I just saw the notice of Warren's passing. I will think of him whenever I'm in my NuCanoe as Warren was the one who guided me to it.
I never met him, but felt his presence.
God speed Warren.
