Stan is the last of the old Guard, a true living legend. He was a contemporary of Woolner, Laine, Whitney and Gibbs. He was the maker of the famous Ku-Jig(s) that any died in the wool Canal veteran knows and still owns a few. His eelskin rigs were talked of in secret and with reverence. He still actively fishes at 84 years of age and has forgotten more about Striper fishing than the collective members of this board know. He loves to fly fish now and has actually started making a few plugs again which he did with Stan Gibbs decades ago. He was there in the golden age and is still doing it. If we all could be as lucky. If you meet him make sure to listen very well, you just might learn something.
