RIP - Dick Talleur

Midcurrent tipped us off to a big loss for the fly fishing and fly tying community. Dick Talleur passed away on February 18th after a brief illness. Paul Rose and I were lucky enough to spend some time with Mr. Talleur at the Charlotte Fly Fishing Show and were even able to film him tying a few of his famous flies. The obituary is on his website http://www.dicktalleur.com/.

Fly Tying Video: Dick Talleur ties the "Beetleator"

Famous fly tyer Dick Talleur took the time to sit down with our Captain Paul Rose and tie up an innovative fly pattern known as "The Beetleator." Unlike I would have done, Paul refrains from using the phrase "I'll be baaaaack" at any time during the interview.
