UNITED FLY TYERS OF RHODE ISLAND



George Rainville

George Rainville, a long-time member of UFTRI and TU, passed away on May 1st.  First and foremost, George was a gentleman.  George was an avid fisherman and superb craftsman.  He built some fine bamboo rods.  Although he seldom tied at UFTRI meetings, he attended regularly.  He’d be there with his US Army baseball cap on, looking over someone’s shoulder, picking up pointers.  Then he’d go home and give it a shot. 

George had his first heart attack several years ago.  He took good care of himself after that, but his heart gave out on him while having supper.  He’ll be really missed by us all.

Each monthly magazine features a "cover" fly tied by an instructor for that month. This fly will be archived in the club's web page along with tying instructions which will be supplied by the fly's instructor. Accompanying the recipe and instructions will be some history, information on fishing the fly, and the instructor's experience with it. We hope this archived material will benefit our members' local fishing experiences.
