This will be a huge shot in the dark.....a total long shot #10921761 06/17/15 02:10 AM

Back in the early 90's I went fishing with a guide on Fork. At the time, he was in his 60's and had white hair. About 1992ish he started driving a gold F150 truck to tow his boat with (I know this because I sold him the truck). I know his name was Bill, but I cannot remember his last name. I have been curious if he is still around. I suspect if he is still alive, he isn't guiding anymore, but I really enjoyed fishing with him. Just trying to see if I can figure out who he was. I caught a huge fish while I was fishing with him on a guided trip. It was a good day and a great memory for me. I know this is pretty sketchy info, but if anyone remembers who he is, I would like to know. Thanks

I knew an older man that guided named Bill Kell. He owned the Rainswood marina and retired in 2011. Last I knew he moved up to the panhandle somewhere up by Perryton.

Maybe Bill Davidson? Back in the mid - late 90's, seems like he guided out of a Cobra. I went on a guided trip with him once...cool guy

I'm pretty sure that's him, Bill Davidson. Thanks!

I assume Bill no longer guides on Fork since that would put him into his 80's. Does anyone know if he is still with us?

A little cursory search yielded several stories about Bill......I can find out if he's still alive and where he is if it's important to you....
