Shortly after moving to Eau Claire about 40 years ago to become the outdoors editor of the local newspaper, I began volunteering to edit the newsletter of the local Trout Unlimited chapter. On the last page of each issue was “Will’s Corner” – a column usually describing a fly pattern beneficial to local streams or a story, often funny, about a local fisherman. I wish I had written down more problems.
I soon met the author of these columns, Clarence “Willy” Wilson, at a chapter meeting.
