“The Hatch” by Leon Thexton
I was walking by my piano this afternoon and have “The Hatch” sitting on top of it. I hadn’t thought about Leon or that piece of art in some time. I think I got it in the mid/late 90’s. We fly fished the Madison with my grandparents and Leon was our guide. My grandpa bought me that piece of art, and I’ve had it ever since.
I decided to google Leon and see what he’d been up to over the past couple decades. Sad to hear he’s passed.
I knew Leon when I lived in Ennis he manages manage the trailer court and he’s a great guy. He taught me how to fly fish we went fishing many times he also taught me how to read the water and we went floating many times in his McKenzie I’ll miss him
