"Lloyd Silvius, Art Dedini, Jim Pray & others

Saw an old post of yours asking about the above fly fishers. I am 76 years old and grew up fly fishing in the Eel River with my dad, Ron Brown. I spent a lot of time with Lloyd and my dad in Lloyd’s tackle shop tying flies and learning how to build sink tips long before they were commercially available. My dad knew Jim Pray and Art Dedini very well. I still have a number of optics tied by Pray. I suspect you and I may have run into each other in the old days in Eureka.

What a river the Eel was in those days.
