Title: A FVSS Icon Passes Away Today
Post by: chris gadsden on December 23, 2018, 02:18:35 PM
Today we lost one of the original directors of the Fraser Valley Salmon Society Herb Kraushar. Herb was the top membership sales person every in the 1980's. Herb would pound the gravel bars selling these memberships, not many people turned him down. Here is a clip I filmed of Herb when I, Peter Sellmer and Fred Helmer produced the FVSS film Fish ON " in 1988. That film is on my youtube channel. Herb was 95. Here is the clip just of Herb from my archives. https://youtu.be/DNsWEkRO2II

Sad news. I'd only met him a few times, back in the 70's/80's, he was always a great source of info for a beginner bar fisherman.

You'd never know that guy was missing an arm the way he handled the bar fishing. He landed fish better with one arm than most guys out there did with 2. I remember him from Henderson and Wellington Bar way back in the late 80s....
