RE: [VFB] Sad News- Yuri Shumakov

Deb:     Sad news on all fronts.   Have you used the Eppendorf plastic lab tippet for tube flies? If so, do you know where a person might obtain a small quantity?   Neville From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Deborah Duran Sent: Monday, September 04, 2006 5:50 PM To: vfb@troutnet.com Subject: RE: [VFB] Sad News- Yuri Shumakov   Steve Irwin was a crazy guy.  He always seemed like he pushed it to the edge.  I will truly miss him, he was far too young.  I feel so bad for his family. Other sad news to keep this fly tying related….  We also lost Jurij “Yuri” Shumakov on August 20th.  He died of a heart attack while fishing the Kola.   He was my inspiration for the tube flies I like to tie in the shows.  The tubes I used in my tube fly swap were Yuri’s.  He was very helpful when I first started tying them.  He was a very generous guy with sharing his knowledge and an extremely talented fly tier.  I was very sad to hear of his passing.  Regards, Deb www.uftri.org www.linesend.com
