not sure if everyone heard that Dick Talleur passed away too.
I just found out myself and am very sad. His book Fly Fishing for Trout was my introduction to the sport. I learned a tremendous amount from his writings and seminars.
This is definitely sad news. I watched many of his videos when I first started tying flies,
His obit is listed on website;

We lost another great one, that is very sad.
That is very sad news.
