Kat Cruickshank.
Member of FF@ since Feb. 22, 1997.
This wiki, like its author, is a Stub. (heh heh)
I lived in Toronto, Ontario at the time i joined FF@. I can't remember who first told me about the List but it might have been Stephen Di Cerbo (still one of my best fishing friends, and probably my primary fly-fishing mentor). I now live in Port Alberni, BC (Vancouver Island) after too many years of big cities. I live with Matt McKay, who is also passionate about fishing, gardening and cooking. We both work as government-contracted observers in the commercial fishery. Because of our work schedule I am less active on FF@ than i used to be.
Favourite summation of fishing ethos: "I just like to look at fish. If I have to catch them to look at 'em, well i guess i'll catch'em" -- Norman T. White. But I also like to cook, eat, smoke, pickle, paint, draw, and make pets out of fish.
Attended several NEC and Lake Placid Claves from 1997 - 2000; also attended the last (?) Damn Yankee Clave in 1998 (?), Big Creek Clave (1999) Hosted Ice Fishing Flyswap (1998?)and "Anything but the Usual Swap" (2001) Usual swap site (warning: may contain invalid mailto: links) Participant in three Illustrated Pattern Swaps; designed cover for 4th (?) (i have to go thru my archives)
Favourite dry flies: The Usual, CDC&Elk, Stimulator
Favourite wet fly: Softhackle Prince (personal variant)
Favourite nymph: don't fish nymphs much anymore
Favourite streamers: McLeod Stickleback, Clouser Minnow, Mallard & Silver, Mickey Finn, burgundy wooly bugger
Favourite "other" fly pattern: Glo-bug
I am a founding member of The Coven (FF@ Legends page)
