As the Patagonia Fly Fishing Sales Manager, I had a chance to get to know Trapper Rudd when he was the owner of Cutthroat Anglers in Silverthorne, Colorado. We’ve also followed him over the years here on the Chum as he traveled around the globe to exotic fishing locales.
Sadly, Trapper passed away yesterday.
His close friend Jeff Futzer penned this fitting tribute on Facebook.
