Gerald Daly

Written by Andrew Howard
Saturday, 26 December 2009
After a long illness, one of our longstanding and well respected members, Gerald Daly, passed away peacefully last Tuesday night. Our thoughts and prayers are with his wife Doreen and the family. As you all know Gerald was a passionate angler and one who quietly went about his membership of the club with a large amount of skill and care for any new members that came under his wing. He was well known for out walking many younger members, despite his so called age. Gerald will be missed and we will, at the first meeting of the new year, suitably remember Gerald amongst his member friends. The death notice has not yet appeared in the Press, but I understand the funeral may be on Tuesday next week.

Bead: Brass or Tails: Brown goose biots, tied opposed. Rib: Small gold oval tinsel Body: Peacock herl, Hackle: Mottled brown hen saddle for flies to #12, hen neck for #14s and smaller Horns: White goose biots, tied flat over the body As I said last time if you are unable to obtain any items on the list of materials you can use a substitute. Judging is not based purely on the materials used but more on the quality of the tie! And lets see some novices entering this time Cheers Martin
