But, I do have a Dave Whitlock story to share with you all. Back in the late 1970's, I was new to fly fishing and all that it offered. But boy, was I ever, hooked. I belonged to the local fly fishing club in Boise, Idaho, at the time. At the annual banquet of the club that year I bought a ticket to support the function. Dave Whitlock was the guest speaker at the banquet. Me, I had heard the name, but, was still too green behind the ears in fly fishing to no much more. The club, unannounced to me as part of the banquet, presented me with a fly fishing vest that came equipped with just about everything a person could want back in the day. The Award was for being the most energetic new club member of the year....... As I walked up to receive my vest, still in shock, that they had chosen me of all people... Dave Whitlock walked over to shake my hand and put two of his famous Bass Bugs on the fleece patch of my new vest! I will never forget the brief moments I had with Dave Whitlock!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9072465054494499379.post-79094614888848733892017-01-08T15:19:02.694-05:002017-01-08T15:19:02.694-05:00Dave is like the energizer bunny, he just keeps go...Dave is like the energizer bunny, he just keeps going.
