Indeed, Bryan was a delight to know through the blogging community. He seemed to have a strong passion to share with others he came in contact with online. From what I know of you, and, from what I knew of Bryan, you are very right. You would have been great friends.<br /><br />By the way, where have you been. Still waiting to see more from your blog..........Melhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15787242134608887555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-145376611552561787.post-79039434728483226332015-03-03T19:30:40.708-07:002015-03-03T19:30:40.708-07:00Bryan ("Atlas" as I knew him) was a real...Bryan ("Atlas" as I knew him) was a really delightful presence in the fishing blogger community. I only wish I had gotten to meet him in person. Aside from a passion for fishing, he and I shared a common interest in searching out reptiles in the wild- "herping" as we call it. I'm sure we would have been great friends had we lived in the same neck of the woods.

We did have several communications about some Crappie flies. He sent me some to add to my warm water box. I always looked forward to his comments and also to his posts on his blog. Clearly, very shocking and very, very sad for his family and his young wife.
