When I sat down to write this article today I noticed I was having difficulty getting started. I knew what I wanted to say, but the words wouldn’t come. I realized that there was something else that needed to be said first. Those fishermen among you have known Bob Marcum well. He has been our resident fishing expert at Sportsworld for as long as most of us can remember. I have known Bob for about twenty years, long before I moved to Ely in 2001. Bob kept me and the rest of the guys in the Las Vegas Fly Fishing Club informed and updated on a regular basis concerning the fishing on the lakes in the Ely area. Bob and I shared the the same passion in our hearts for fishing and the joy it brings with it. I treasure the discussions and stories we had with one another over the years. There is no “filling of Bob’s shoes”, and I would never assume to try. I wish him the best, and many more fish in the boat!!!!!!!
