Just received word that Preston Stingletary has made his final journey to the waters where cutthroat always come willing to our flies.
Preston was one of the group that actively worked tirelessly for our beloved sea-cutthroat. All of us that love those wonderful fish have a great debt to Preston and the others that worked for decades on behave of the cutthroat and those of us the enjoy fishing for them.
I only fished with Preston a few times but we would discuss our cutthroat experiences, hopes and just catch up with recent going ons a number of times every year trading recent reports with the status of the cutthroat and our beloved Stillaguamish river a number of times every year. Often he would be in my thoughts as I chased the cutthroat even more so this fall even prior to hearing he was preparing for his final trip. I was honored to talk with a couple times in the last month reliving past trips, special fish we have caught and our hopes for the resource.
R.I.P. my friend; your passing leaves a void in my angling world.
