RangerBob Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 Besides Steve Irwin's passing today. I also just learned on VFB that Russian Jurij “Yuri” Shumakov passed recently on August 20th, fishing his favorite waters on the Kola. Although I did not know him... he had some impressive works indeed. You can see some of them here: Yuri Shumakov's Tube FliesGoogle "Yuri" Here News of his passing is already spreading across the Internet (a biography here): http://www.angelfire.com/wa/salmonid/contributor18.html -- Deborah Duran wrote on VFB: > Steve Irwin was a crazy guy. He always seemed like he pushed it to the edge. I will truly miss him, he was far too young. I feel so bad for his family.>> Other sad news to keep this fly tying related…. We also lost Jurij “Yuri” Shumakov on August 20th. He died of a heart attack while fishing the Kola. He was my inspiration for the tube flies I like to tie in the shows. The tubes I used in my tube fly swap were Yuri’s. He was very helpful when I first started tying them. He was a very generous guy with sharing his knowledge and an extremely talented fly tier. I was very sad to hear of his passing. >> Regards,>> Deb>> www.uftri.org> www.linesend.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
