The angling neighborhood is grieving the loss of a legend today.
Words can underestimate to what an amazing guy Frank Moore was. Frank made an impression from the handshake; you believed your hand was going to break whenever he shook it. Frank was motivating in many methods. For me his simple and providing character worked out beyond fly fishing. Frank shared his love for fishing and for life. We will miss him significantly.
