All of us here at Country Pleasures wish to extend our thoughts to the family of Don Cahoon, who passed away this past week.
Don was a major instrument in the popularity of fly fishing in Southern Alberta and a mentor to many fly fishers over the years. He was a partner/owner for a number of years.
I was lucky enough to spend a lot of time with Don during my teens fishing here, there, and everywhere. Memories of him getting me completely lost on the way to "Frenchman's", lawn chairs and cane rods at Old Farts with he and Jack Lambert, and way too early spring trips to go fish for midging Whitefish on the Missouri.
Donald taught me a whole bunch about fishing, rod building, and life in general.
We'll miss you, you old fart, hope you're fishing dry flies on your very own Frenchman's right now.
