He and his wife Ann, took Misako and i out to lunch one time, after we had had "the tour" of the Wapsi plant............plant for lack of a better word. The place is amazing...........totally amazing. It's the biggest fly tyin' materials operation in the world. Every tyer should take "the tour" at least once. You learn a lot. And Tom and Ann are so sweet. Misako won the framed Green Highlander that Tom tyed and donated for the Ladies Lunchen at Conclave here a week ago. Fishin' here IS unreal in terms of both cold and warm water species all in one place. All the Wapsi kids but one are in the business as well.....they were all good friends of Charles Barton too.

Home Arkansas, is that he took out a map, took a compass, and found a place in the US that had within either a 50 or 100 mile radius (I forget the exact mileage) that had THE best fishing in the US (in his opinion) and that turned out to be Mountain Home. True story.

She was tyin' at the Mt. River Fly Shop booth during Conclave and really impressed me with her Steelhead flies. She's a real sweetheart as well.

It's to benifit the British Columbia (she's Canadian) Steelhead Society and it's a VERY important cause. i'd just like to encourage ALL of you to do whatever you can for that cause.
