Re: [VFB] Welcome Chuck

[mark romero]

Hi Ed, no i didn't tye that one. It was tyed by Clem Fullerton. He's the man 
my wife and i (as members of the TGF Conservation Committee) nominated (and 
who subsequently won), for the Conservation award at this years TGF 
Conservation Committee Fund Dinner. We give out two of those awards each 
year. The other recipiant this year was Phil Chase. Clem has always been my 
wife and mine's number one inspirational guiding light as far as 
conservation is concerned. He's in his 70's and is still out there all the 
time doing tree plantings, rock rollings, road clean-ups, and stream 
restoration work. The guy is amazing in his dedication to the rivers and the 
fish. Wish we had a thousand more like him. He is also the newsletter editor 
for the Upper Delaware and BeaMoc chapters of TU. Tyes a mean Usuall too. 
BTW, we have a lot of Pumpkinseeds round here as well....more than Bluegills 
actually. Wish they got as big, lol. mark

Hey Mark

Did you tie the Usual that was on the hat that was auctioned off at
Clearwater?

I am also a fan of the usual.  In one pond I used to fish, when the water
gets warm as in August, the pumkinseeds are often feeding on top with the
larger bluegills underneath them.
