Small World

 

The faster we surf into the future with electronics and connectivity, the easier it is to see how small the world really is. The past several weeks on the trade show circuit have proven once again that new connections often share mutual friendships – you just never know until you ask!

A good example: at the Somerset show a few weeks ago, our friend Lyne Trudeau in Montreal mentioned she was a friend and mentor to a famous fly tier in the Blackville area named Marc. She also knows Kathy, who ties a lot of the flies at the Curtis Fly Show in Blackville; she is a student of Marc’s. In our correspondence after the show Lyne mentioned she was busy getting ready for the Grandby Fly Fishing Forum – maybe she’ll let us know if she identifies more mutual connections, as it is always exciting to build bridges and make new friendships. Good luck at Grandby, Lyne!

Our next stop will be the Alabama Safari Club Banquet at the end of February. We look forward to seeing our friends there, and discovering new “intersections” through the course of those treasured conversations.

This is a nice article about Lyne Trudeau concerning one of her flies which she enterred at the International Salmon Fly Tying Competition...looks like a bronze medal for one of the flies!
