flyfish Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 Bob Quigley was one of the greatest tiers of his generation. He refined and shared the techniques (and the flies) that are now standard on difficult waters such as Hat Creek, Hot Creek, and the Fall River.His patterns—or more accurately his style of patterns—are in widespread use across the world. The Quigley Cripple, Film Critic, and Hackle Stacker are just a few of the patterns that didn’t just find their way into thousands of fly boxes—they inspired thousands of fly tiers who used the techniques and materials to build their own creations. http://www.flyfisherman.com/2012/06/22/bob-quigley-passes/#axzz1z0qJuQZR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DennisS Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 I heard this the other day and was shocked, he wasn't that old. He was a very innovative fly tyer. His Quiggley Cripple will live on for ever. He will be sorely missed. Tight Lines Always Dennis S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Dell Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 Sad news. I use his Quigley Cripple for BWOs. Very effective pattern. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
