NFR Another fly fishing member and friend has passed away: ABITNF - Glenn Lario

[Buzzy]

I never met Glenn but we exchanged PM's and a few text messages over the years and I had hoped to meet him on my trip to the Kamloops area this past May. He died shortly before my trip to BC; I only learned of his death today.

Glenn went by ABITNF (A Blaze In The Norhtn Sky - a fly shop in Qualicum Beach, Vancouver Island), he went by Squamish Poacher on WFF. Glenn was a nice man, a talented fisherman and generous. RIP ABITNF!

Very sad to hear this, he posted good information on both sites.

May he rest in a place full of tight lines, God Bless, Glenn, rest in peace.

Dude could fish

 

[Merle]

I never knew him personally but definitely recognized the handle Squamish Poacher. He was a ubiquitous presence on the boards that I always recognized as someone that probably had a lot more experience and knowledge than me.

RIP Glenn.
