I, like others, have benefited from all the knowledge harnessed here.The real shame would be the loss of all that. As steelhead season approaches, I was looking forward to my annual 'refresh' when I would revisit all the How-To pages of spey fishing, casting, swinging, fly tying, etc. Free information, didn't have to purchase a book or a subscription. All part of the ritual of fall.
I, like others, have made lasting valued friendships as a result of this board. Not to mention the camaraderie of faces unknown. All brought together because we all share the same addiction. And this site was part of the fix.
It would be a real testament to keep it alive.

Don't even get me started on the value of the collection of step by step tutorials And incredibly concise hatch chart.

It's official, this Saturday there will be a wake held for the fly shop from 12 to 5 at the Oak Orchard Fly Shop. There will be a limited supply of beer provided so if heavy embellishment is planned to help drown you're sorrows, please bring a sample to share. Eulogies lasting less than 45 seconds are preferred, but those bringing praise to Nick, Emmanuel, Paul or myself can go on a little longer. This will prove to be a sad event so those individuals prone to tearing should bring the appropriate absorbent materials. Musicians, Jugglers, Comedians, Contortionists, and any other from of entertainment are welcome to perform at this memorable occasion. See you there, casual dress preferred.

I'll pour out a sip off the dock on Cranberry Lake, ADK on Saturday. It'll be a tastey bourbon.
Talk to you guys (on here) when I get back

thanks folks. just to let everyone know the site will continue on as usual. after this weekend it will begin to be updated and add more stuff as well. it's free to run so no need for any one to have to subscribe or anything just bring something to the table and it will continue to be a great source for WNY fly fishers.
