Jimmy Carter, Unsurpassed as Humanitarian and Avid Fly Angler, Passes at 100

Former U.S. President, humanitarian, and avid fly angler Jimmy Carter passed away Sunday at age 100. Carter entered hospice care in February of 2023 and exceeded expectations one final time. The former president was preceded in death by his wife of 77 years, Rosalynn, in November of 2023. 

Aside from his in-office accomplishments and post-presidency legacy of conservation and charitable endeavors, he was as fishy an angler as anyone. His passion was evident in his many articles on the pages of, and experiences with the editors of, Fly Fisherman. We honor his contributions to better our world.
