May the Steelhead be Big and Grabby in Heaven

Two days ago Harry Lemire passed away after battling leukemia.

Harry and my steelhead fly fishing mentor were close friends and I feel blessed and honored to have spent time fishing with him. He was a classy man with mad style.

My friend Calvin sent me a message this morning reminding me of the time I gave Harry a four leaf clover he tucked behind his ear. I smiled thinking of his chuckle.

My heart goes out to Harry's family and many friends. He was beloved by many and will be with us on the water each Spey cast we make.

Harry rest in peace where the large Steelhead and Salmon grab anxiously at your hand tied classic flies.
The "Kate Spey" Harry gave me.
