Andy B

If I'm recalling correctly, wasn't Andy B someone who used to tie classic wet flies (seem to recall him
recreating Ray Bergman type wet flies)

If so, anyone here from, or run into, him anymore?

Andy Brasco (screen name Andy B) was a wet fly specialist.
Especially good at Bergman style flies.

He stopped posting at NEFF in 2013 when Beetle was posting a lot of nonsense.
I haven't heard anything since.

Yup, Andy's a good guy. Last I spoke/corresponded with him he was living in the central Burlington Co. area, Rancocas Creek drainage, but that's been a number of years ago too. Hopefully he's still lurking around these sites and might decide to pop up and post since much of the B.S. that had been occurring that precipitated his departure has since gone away.

Andy is alive and well on Facebook which is where most of the fishing talk has migrated to over the recent years. He's not fishing as much these days.

Wow, I work in Mt. Laurel and am into bluegrass. Surprised I haven't bumped into him yet, as I'm friendly with the circle of bluegrass musicians up here :P

Brian, if you can shoot his FB screenname over to me PM or email (both should be good here), I'd appreciate it.

You must look up Mandolin Orange...go to you tube,start with "wildfire" the live studio one...then check out "The Wolves"...an amazing band with amazing writing..Andrew Marlin writes the songs and he is a genius!!!! let me know what you think!!

Also, the Steeldrivers with Chris Stapleton are quite a bit more soulful than that new singer... :P
