Staying in my room at the Wildcat this year are the following:
 
RW = G. E. Wulff, lives on Lake Sebago, Maine. One time holder of the IGFA World Record landlocked Salmon. Mickey Finn fly that he loves to tie.
Is a World class tier, of all kinds of flies but a master at the purdy salt stuff. 
 
Al Thomas, retired steel worker, retired to working a fly shop. Dyed in the wool fly fisherman and tier. Am not sure if he will tie or just come to fish.
 
Jim Hatch,retired from the Navy. Orriginator of "The Pig Fly", which he will be demostrating, selling and giving away at the Sow Bug. Prefers to fish warm water fish but has been known to enjoy fly fishing also for trout.
 
These three fly fishing guys are special friends, even though none are members of VFB. (need to change that)
RW , Al and myself have shared billiting at several fly fishing gatherings in the past, all over the USA. Jim is an old friend of several years and I am looking foreword to sharing with all of them. Also looking foreword to meeting many of the VFB people this next Spring.
 
Fly fishers that I have shared my room with in the past include, Martin Westbeck, Rene Zillmann and our own Jimmi. Am sure each will tell you we all had our lives enriched by the experience. Of course if it were not for Tony Spezio and his wife, Dot, the Sow Bug just would not be.
 
If any of you are thinking about going, do so, you wil not regret the experience.
