Hey Guys,
For any of you that knew Herb, he recently passed away; there will be a floatilla of anyone who wants to come in a spreading of some of his ashes on the PM in Michigan. Even if you didn't know Herb or are new to the area, I assure you the crowd, mood, and fellowship will turn into a pretty special day for sure.Check the www.fishbaldwin.com web site forums for updates of this event as it takes shape. Steve Fraley is setting up the details.
Herb was so cool and very easy to like. A lot of us midwestern folks probably didnt realize he had quite a bit of experience out west, being a fore-runner in the spey casting sensation before it was en vouge.......knew many of the PNW legends but never really boasted about it or anything. For those who like to trace back the evolution of this sport, he is one of those guys that I put into this category. I wonder if Dec and Harry L and Mike K and those guys knew Herb? Would be interesting to see the connections.
Deadly spey caster, hunted fish like a heron, and had just a great way about him. Herb taught me my basic drift-boat rowing skills to me when I was just getting on the sticks. Patience of a saint........(nuff said!!).....lol
Thanks, Herb.
