Simple Match Fishing Forum

Reading through a bit of old angling material I was surprised to learn of the identity of the angler who gave this quote……….

Favourite species – ‘The roach, without the slightest hesitation. I think it offers more interest and demands more skill and knowledge from the angler than any other fish’

Who was the famous angler

Agree or disagree

Why

If its a famous angler, it cant be someone on these forums, unless its Bill Yards whos a Leg End nationwide  

Could it be someone who now makes his living fishing commercials for tame carp.  ::)

I agree, Roach are the fish for me too (still only found a few in Scotland though) LOL

Hiya MrV

Forumite - no


Bill Yards - no


The current tame carp angler - no


But a clue......he (so now you know the gender) was possibly primarily associated with carp

Glad someone else likes roach; they are proper fish.
Anbody any thoughts about a new groundbait, made from carp

Game over guys

What's with a that 'winky eye' smillie Mugger - 'could be wrong though'

Yep it was Dick Walker..........a few years following his capture of Clarissa and all his pioneering carp tactics

Just noticed Simps censor has been at it again - it was 'Dick' Walker, not thingy Walker

Ok - Richard then

OK TK...

What name Did Richard Walker give to his record carp?
