dickd Posted January 18, 2018 Report Share Posted January 18, 2018 We received the news of Fishdoc's passing this morning when his wife Anne called. As Eddie indicated, the last several months were very difficult, but he put up a valiant fight. Few told a story with his enthusiasm whether the events dated back to his youth fishing the beaches of Cape Cod with his father, venturing out onto Narragansett Bay in his boat "My Surprise", or hitting the sand along SoCo in the fall. Over the last 20 years or so we rarely missed an "opening day" fly fishing for trout together. His hand tied trout flies proved effective, and many stripers succumbed to his striper plugs. He enjoyed chasing trout until the stripers arrived and enhanced the whole outdoor experience with numerous trips to Pulaski and a few to Alaska in pursuit of salmon. In all regard Dick was the consumate outdoorsman and good friend who'll be greatly missed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He called me from the beach, telling me how you hooked a striper and brought the rod to the truck so he could reel it in. I remember a day from several years ago that we were fluking off Matunuck, listening to peculiar radio messages and finally concluded that what they were saying is that football BFT surfaced out in front of Scarborough Beach. Naturally, pandemonium ruled and I decided against fishing in the thick of that nonsense. We skirted the distant perimeter, and within moments the footballs popped up with easy casting distance. Doc hooked up and fought the fish forever before dropping it at the side of the boat. Although our vision of sushi vanished ( I had gotten tuna permit), he had one hell of a thrill.
