Farewell my friend…

I was shocked and heartbroken to learn this morning that my long time guiding friend, Bill Lowe, suddenly passed.

Bill left this world entirely too early and was one of the people I most enjoyed running into on the river. He had a smile for everybody and his always positive attitude was contagious.

As a guide and instructor, Bill touched the lives of countless anglers…and I never met a soul who didn’t have anything but the highest regard for him.

B-Lo, you were a true gentleman and a friend and I thank you for all the positive vibes, conversations and laughs. The river (and this planet) just won’t be the same without you.

Rest in peace my friend!

    Bill will be missed, but not forgotten. His positivity was absolutely contagious. His love of fish and the anglers who had the pleasure of meeting him was inspirational. Thank you JD for remembering this great man. R.I.P B-Lo!

      It’s shocking to read this. I will miss seeing Bill on the river. He always shared a positive remark and could change your day in a second. My condolences to his family and friends. Peace to you Bill….

    How? I am shocked. What an amazing human being? He volunteered his time and gear at his alumni to teach fly fishing. WhT an amazing teacher. His smile quick wit and passion will not be soon forgotten.
