We lost a Northern California icon

Post by sdisturber »

Don Reighley passed away yesterday always a supporter of youth fishing clubs and a past member of the California warm water fisheries board. A friend to all who new him and helluva fisherman. RIP my friend gone but never forgotten. I will always cherish our friendship. Dave H

I was a member briefly of the Bass Classics of Santa Clara back in the eighties and have fond memories of Don. What a class act, may he Rest In Peace

So sad to hear of this. Don and I used to commute to the Bass Classics meetings when I first started with the club way back when! Great guy always willing to help and support the club and members! Don, you'll be missed!! Rest in peace!!

A friend just told me about Don! He was a great guy. I spent a lot of years in the BassClassics learning from him. He was always more than eager to help whoever was willing to listen. He will be missed more than I think he would have realized. He was just that kind of person!
RIP Don!

Deepest condolences to Dons family from myself and Westside Anglers Bass club. It was always a pleasure to run into Don, he was a wealth of bass fishing knowledge. He was a great fisherman and a better person!! Every time I would see the green ranger on Oroville I knew I was in the right area. He will be missed, RIP.
