I just heard the sad news that Darrel Martin passed away last week. Darrel authored several books including "Micropatterns - Tying and Fishing the Small Fly" and "The Flyfisher's Companion".
I met Darrel at one of the first FFF Oregon Fly Tying Expos in Eugene. He taught me, Rocky and John how to tie a woven dragon fly nymph pattern. Great guy. Fantastic fly tier.... I still have the fly he tied.
