 This year the Carp Classic fundraising dollars will go to the Eric Gagel Memorial Fund as a college fund for soon-to-be born child of Jenny Gagel (Simms Fly Fishing Products Customer Service Representative).
Eric Gagel, 44, of Belgrade died of a heart attack on Wednesday, January 28, 2009. After graduating from University of Louisville in 1987, Eric traveled extensively and ended up in Big Sky, where he met his future wife, Jenny. He and Jenny married in 1999 and settled in Belgrade, Montana.
Eric's most favorite thing to do was go hiking or walking with their dogs. Eric was an avid sea kayaker, rock climber and eventually came back to fishing for enjoyment. It was something that he had done as a child with his grandmother and realized how much he enjoyed it.
The highlight of Eric's life was learning that he would be a father. He was so looking forward to welcoming his and Jenny's first child into the world this May. He was a very proud "pre Poppa".
Eric is survived by his wife of almost 10-years, Jenny Gagel.

 DIRECTIONS
Take I-15 to Idaho Falls. Take exit #116. This is Sunnyside Road.
Follow Sunnyside Road all the way east (through the neighborhoods)
until you see the signs to Blackfoot Reservoir. It is about 45 minutes
to an hour drive on a dirt road, heading south from Sunnyside Road.
When you get to the reservoir, go left, about 4 miles to the Pebble
Beach boat ramp. Look for people laughing hysterically (you might want
to "Google Earth" Blackfoot Res. to get a feel for where the event is). |
