Friday Night Flies – George’s Kraft and Krystal Minnow
This little minnow is a killer little pattern that imitates emerging salmon fry in our rivers. It won’t be long until these fry are an abundant food source for trout all over. Tie some of these deadly little minnows up and let us know what you think!
George’s Kraft and Krystal Minnow is dedicated to an extended family member that we just lost last week to cancer. When my cousin Deny married his wife Monica we knew we were adding an amazing woman to the family but when we got to meet her family we had no idea what to expect. They are amazing people to say the least. George, her father, was an amazing man. He lived his life to the fullest and welcomed us all in with open arms and for that we are very grateful. He really cared about everyone that he met and will be dearly missed by all. I only had the chance to meet him over the few days we were in Edmonton for the wedding but he made an impression on all of us. What can I say? the man knew how to tell stories. He owned a restaurant in downtown Edmonton and it was the place to be in the 80’s when the Oilers were actually good. Needless to say he had some awesome stories about that amazing team and the shenanigans that they would get up to. It was awesome getting to know him even if it was just for a few days. It sucks that cancer always seems to pick the good ones. He will be deeply missed and we are thinking about all our family new and old in Edmonton. We love all you guys!
