Hi all, I’ve been away for a few days and now this. I’m truly devastated by this news, and the fly fishing world has lost a great one. It was an honor to get to know Jim for the short time I have, and I am so sorry to hear this. Jim and Deanna gave me a great opportunity to be a small part of this site, and I will be forever grateful. I was truly in awe of Jim’s extensive knowledge of not only the art of fly casting but all facets of the game, including entomology and tying. We will never be able to fully know how many fly fishermen Jim touched and helped with this site, but I’m confident they number in the thousands. Jim will be missed by all of us.
