A very good friend and fishing partner- Dick Pobst-RIP



I am very sadden to say my good friend, supporter and an Icon in the fly fishing world passed away yesterday- the one and only Dick Pobst. Dick was a good fishing partner on the Muskegon and a bug /hatch matching fanatic up until a few years ago. Dick introduced me to Orvis 25 years ago when I first started out in an old wooden/fiberglass drift boat. He and Carl Richards "Selective Trout " fame put bugs and hatches into perspective for everyone. Dick's "Trout Stream Insects- and Orvis Pocket Guide" was a master work that made bug Latin simple. My upcoming online magazine will feature Dick and Carl in the "Caddis Conundrum"...may God rest your soul brother, and may you and Carl find all new species of aquatic bugs in heaven to harass and enjoy!
