Please Help Get Frank Moore Back to Normandy

Frank Moore is one of the most amazing people I have ever met, and I know everyone I have ever talked to who has crossed paths with Frank seems to say similar positive things about him. I am actually baffled that he is 90, and that is simply because he can out-fish and out-wade most people. When he shakes your hand it feels like he may turn your hand into a diamond. He is the living legend of the North Umpqua River. Nobody has seen more of that river than he has, and he can still fish it at 90 years old like a champ. Everyone needs to meet Frank because he would have on impact on you in some way. I have seen him at sportsman demo shows with 20 kids around him, and he is busy giving them all a free casting lesson.

There is a mission to get him back to Normandy France to be able to fish the rivers he saw as a soldier. There is a large fundraising event going on, and YOU need to take part in it. I know I am taking my part by donating a guided fly fishing trip as part of a fundraiser that has a goal to raise the funds to get Frank over to Normandy.

I have a link below to see more information about the documentary called Mending the Line which will be about Franks life and also going along with him to Normandy.

Mending the Line is a documentary about Frank Moore, a 90-year old WWII veteran and fly-fishing legend, returning to Normandy to fish the rivers he saw as a soldier.
