I never had the pleasure to meet him, but many people I fish with have spoken very highly of him and his skills - and I have learned quite a bit from his posts here.
RIP Flaptail.

Such sad news - a great person who just loved fishing - both salt and sweetwater - and who gave many great memories to his friends and family.
RIP Steve, watch over us all from above, and guide your best buddies to the right fishing spots!

I will miss his wit and his funny posts. His knowledge of vintage plugs and what works when and where was amazing.
I was hoping to meet him at the upcoming plugfest. I'm sure the great Flaptail stories will become legend.
Thoughts and prayers for his daughters and wife.

I learned of Steve's passing from fishweewee's thread on SOL. I had to shake my head and rub my eyes to make sure I was understanding it. I'm in total shock.
I'm glad we finally got to spend some one on one time, talking, at the Mass Leg in June, at Mike's. I knew Flap a little from 25 years ago, but a lot of water had passed under the bridge since we talked in person.
My condolences to his family and friends. This must be hitting you hard too, George, and I'm sorry for your loss.

RIP Flap.
I will always take "fishing the shadowline" as one of the greatest lessons I've ever learned.
