Next to Joe is Dave Angell and Jim Gear is on the right at the front.
Jim Gear was an excellent feeder angler on the Severn and the upper Trent. I remember as a kid watching him at Burton. He was a bit different to others in the way he cast a feeder on the upper Trent, he used a mitchell match and put a bend in the rod followed by a underarm fling, but he used to get in under the bushes by doing this, great to watch !!!

Roy Richardson 2nd from right. Joe was my hero when I was young and it is a privilege to have fished In the same team

I think Jim Gear lives in my neck of the wood now

Joe does quite a lot of pics for AM
