A Celebration
of Friends and Great Times
There is beauty in nature and perhaps that's
what makes fly fishing what it is..us trying to imitate that
beauty. There are few things as poetic as the life of a mayfly.
Here the final stages of life of the Green Drake. Is it an
eternity to them or does it tell us something about our own
journey through time.
The Coffin
Fly (Drake Spinner) from Maryland. A beautiful insect
where ever you find it.
There are those people you meet that have a
real personality and brother Zyg was one of them. Educated,
eccentric, and debaucherous he was the most lovable of
fisherman you would ever meet. Always generous and
contemplative this photo of him on Penns Creek says it all.
In
Memory
Zymond
Anthony John Gonglewski died on November 18, 1998. To his
friends he was just “Brother Zyg.” Zyg held a M.A. in
English Literature from the Univ. of Chicago. He spoke at least
5 languages and was the consummate Renaissance Man but he never
threw his education in the face of anyone. He was a generous
man and had friends from all walks of life. He was part of the
famous Green Drake Gang on Penns Creek. He loved the company of
fellow anglers and the environs where trout are found. He
enjoyed great cigars and great food; he lived life to the
fullest. Whenever I fish Penns I´ll make sure we always
remember our comrad...Brother Zyg. Gone but not
forgotten.
There are big trout out there and you dream
of them Some are so large they make you tremble. When you
catch these monsters you keep a special place in psyche
for the next one because you know someday you'll meet
them.
A massive brown trout
from a limestone stream released to fight
again.
One of the great fly anglers of his time
Vince Marinaro passes his discerning eye on a rod. Quite
opinionated always never the less Vince had his good moments
too. Here at the picnic held on the Letort in Vince's
Meadow.
The late
Vince Marinaro examines a fine rod as the late Dave
Williams looks on. Vince mellowed later in life. Good
Thing for all of us!
