Vermont lost a good one

[Little Brown Dog]

Tom Evanoika who owned Tom's Bait and Tackle in Bomoseen VT passed away on Thursday June 17.  He organized the first Bomoseen Fishing Derby over thirty years ago.  He was a great resource for fishing information and will be missed by many.

This was also posted in the VT board, but I know more people from throughout New England knew Tom.

Thoughts and prayers go out to his family.
