Congratualtions that you received the Bamboo Rodmaker of the Year award.
Also Tony has a smalll stroke that has affected his speech a little and left his left side a little weak. He is home and will undergo therapy.
Keep them in mind.
Rick
My prayers indeed. And,congradulations.
Is this the same bamboo rodmaker Tony Spezio, who lives in Arkansas?
Yes, is the same Tony - there are a couple of his flies in the Fly of the Week Archives here as well.

Wow! I am so sorry to hear about Tony’s health problem, yet delighted to hear about his award. I just spent a little time with Tony (1st time I met him) at the Catskill Rodmakers Gathering back in Sept. of this year. We sat and talked for way over an hour, what a super nice guy. Got to see some of his cane rods, they were absolutely beautiful!
My congrats and prayers Tony!
Way to go Tony! That’s quite an honor. You are in some elite company indeed!
Sorry about your health problems get well soon, You are in my prayers as well.
Tony is home and feeling better. He has started his therapy and they think he will get back to where he was before.

I don’t know Tony, but I sure like hearing about someone recovering from health problems.
Cheers,

I met Tony at the sowbug roundup a few years back, great guy, a true fly fishing ambassador.
Get well quick Tony and congrats on the award!
