Austin Francis passing

Post by bob2935 »

Last week Austin Mac Francis the author of Catskill Fly Tier, Catskill Rivers and Land of Little Rivers died. Never met him but my old boss Frankie Kuttner had many nice stories about him. Got Catskill Fly Tier while in HS and it has been my bible for years and love his other two titles. Did not know about him personally and if people what to share good things about him feel free.

Rest in peace Mac.
