Jeff Pollard Memorial Fund Dedication

MEMORIAL PLANNED AT MALLARD’S REST FISHING ACCESS SITE FOR JEFFREY POLLARD

BOZEMAN— The family and friends of Jeffrey Pollard and Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks have installed a memorial bench at the Mallard’s Rest Fishing Access Site on the Yellowstone River to honor his memory. In addition, the family contributed $2500 for site improvements including new picnic tables and grills.

An award-winning designer and illustrator, Pollard traveled extensively, combining his deep love of the outdoors and adventure with his illustration and graphic design work.

Pollard was an avid fly-fisherman with a particular love of the Paradise Valley, Yellowstone River, and Mallard’s Rest Fishing Access Site. “It is not an understatement to say that he had a magical gift for pulling in the biggest and best fish,” said his brother Thom Pollard. “He talked endlessly about the Paradise Valley and how the fly-fishing was the best in the world.”

Jeffrey Pollard passed away in February of 2005. The engraved granite bench has been installed near the boat ramp overlooking the river. Family and friends will gather for a memorial service and dedication ceremony at Mallard’s Rest on Saturday, August 19, 2006 at 10 a.m. The public is welcome to attend.
