David C. Faltings

Dave was THE GREATEST. I got to know him over a 20 year period of exploring The Creek, The Wood, Big Lost.... watching him run a great guide program.... support me in teaching my kids. Lessons from Dave to me directly, or through GREAT guides including the amazing Phil Crabtree.. Dave Faltings. Gone way too soon...... RIP

I was saddened to learn of Dave's passing. As an Eastern "tenderfoot" who was lucky enough to have owned a home in Sun Valley for many years, Dave was always kind to me whenever I was in the shop.

I knew Dave only from the shop--but we were brothers in our love of moving water and all it brings to us--the beauty,the peace and ultimately the rise of the trout to the fly. RIP dave
