I seem to recall that we got George to sign his own hat.....before he knew it was for him.

George gave me all his old slides, and I had them put on CDs for him. I found this pic buried amongst the thousands of pics he had accumulated over the years. This is a Florida Keys trip with Flip Pallot. He and Lefty Kreh are the GOATS of fly fishing.
Didn't George have a hand in designing the TFO mini-mag fly rod??
Yes. The 8/10 Mini Mag George tested was intended to go to Lefty, but he'd gotten snowed in, and TFO couldn't get the rod to him. I don't intend this to be an infomercial for TFO, but they're really good about getting new fly rods in the hands of guides and instructors for testing. I have a 5# TFO experimental fly rod that became the Esox. Not sure why they would give me one to test, but I'm not complaining.
I wasn't on this forum when he was around. Sounds like he was one hellva individual. Is this the same fella who is world famous for Striper Bass? None the less I hope your resting in peace with a pole in your hand.
Rusto, yes, George was one of an early group of people to put hybrid stripers in ponds.
And due to his scientific nature, he documented and communicated his experiences regarding the same to the Forum.
He may have been the one to coin the phrase 'ladder stocking.'

Here's some very old Lake Texoma pics. George understood seasonal baitfish migration, and caught stripers in epic numbers. To me, Mrs. G was the best fisherman of the 2, and I always reminded George of that.
Oh my those are nice. I got some stripers from snrub this year. Those suckers have alot of fight in them at the earlier stages in life. I cant wait 2 get hold of a few pounder.
Interesting when I was working with George to design some Pond Boss flies we were discussing colors. He said Mrs. G did all the color selection as he was effectively color blind.
