A lot of the time, id buy the shooting news, just to read his articles back in the late 's early 90's...

He was a real countryman, of the old generation, not like now, the hoddie type with their pit bulls ect ect ect....

Hargreaves ,Drabble,DBP,Ted W, Dick Walker and now Fred Taylor .All clever enough to juggle careers with their love of fieldsports and fishing and find time to convert their experiences into film and print to be shared with others.All people who've held me spellbound at various times almost and all gone.Peter Stone -another loss- relates some classic and a not a little risque tales of night- fishing with Fred Taylor. Let's hopeTed Walsh was right in his theory of the existance of Ellysian hunting Fields in the after -life. It must be quite a place.
