I heard that Steve Yeomans died recently. Just 46. I'm sure there are many on here who had fished with him and against him. Very sad news.

Sad news - thats no age. RIP Steve

Feck me I'm 47. Thats sad. RIP.

it just goes to show money ,politics football, falling outs, fishing all mean very little at times like this 46 is no age really sad news god bless

Was he from Derby?

Steve had been ill for a good while.

He lived in the Burton area.

Really good canal angler who also liked the 'fun' side of fishing. He fished for Starlets under Dowsey

He also fished for us in quite a few Leagues including the Wolverhampton Winter League when it was huge. I think we won that when twelve teams fished; he was one of our team then.

Very sad.

Was you both fishing for Holts tackle Bill?

RIP YO YO

i had the privilege to run his section on a few drennan league matches in the mid 90s which i believe to be the best starlets canal team i ever saw yo yo was by far the best squatt angler i have ever seen and also the funniest with a pint in his hand god bless you mate

R.I.P Steve. Thoughts go to his family. Fished with him a lot at Drakelow, where he was a decent River man, but as someone else said, a top, top cut angler

Was you fishing for Holts tackle Bill?

Must have been cuz I can remember him coming to the Presentation Evening?

Sad news, my thoughts are with his family.

R.I.P. Steve. I too used to fish with him and have a lot of good memories.
My thoughts go out to his family.

R.i.p Steve,
