We lost one of our own recently. Bill Spiess passed away on Wednesday after a brief battle with cancer and other health complications. He was 88.

A member since the early 70s, Bill was a long-time member of St. Paul Fly Tiers, an awesome fisherman and innovative fly tier.

A fun-loving guy, Bill could often be seen as the camp cook at his beloved Cottonwood camp on the Big Horn River, or running from the bull at his “secret spot” on the Rush River. Trout in the Big Horn and Minnesota/Wisconsin waters can now feel safe.

Always welcoming to club members and integral to the fabric of the club, the “Silver Spider,” will be forever in our hearts.

Visitation from 3-5PM MONDAY, Dec. 26, 2016 at MUELLER MEMORIAL, 835 Johnson Parkway at E. 7th St., St. Paul with service starting at 5PM. Reception immediately follows. –
