I get Ned Kehde Finesse News Network email reports and he has this in his report today

May 13

 

Ned Kehde of Lawrence, Kansas, posted a log on the Finesse News Network on May 13 about his outing at a 63-year-old and heavily fished state reservoir in northeastern Kansas.

 

It is sad but important to note that Bill Ward of Warsaw, Missouri, who was one of the forefathers of Midwest finesse fishing, died on May 10. At the age of 90, he was still showing us the virtues of geriatric angling with finesse tackle. And this May 13 outing is in memory of him. ( Here is a link to a short profile of Bill that details one of his contributions to Midwest finesse fishing: https://www.in-fisherman.com/editorial/short-history-of-marabou-jig/362980.)"

 

Thought I would pass this along.

 

Tight lines Bill...

Prayers to the family 

My condolences to all, and prayers
