The most famous fisherman in the World, Mr John Wilson has passed away at his home in Thailand. My brother a keen fisherman loved his books and the articles about John in fishing magazines. Rest In Peace Mr Wilson.
Very proud to be voted Planet Swans Poster of the Year 2017 by my fellow posters. Especially on a site that nearly had 20 million impressions last year.
Speaking in the capacity as an utterly sh1te fisherman I found his programmes absolutely fantastic because he caught ( albeit televised) fish on my behalf!
I've always had an admiration for a lot of the fishing experts because they instinctively and knowledgeably (even on a first visit) know the lay of a river in ' knowing-lay of the land fashion'. They know where exactly to fish, what peek time best to fish, where exactly to cast, how to fish in certain weather and river conditions etc.
Argus!

I used to enjoy John Wilson's fishing programe always laughing, and his favorite saying "WHAT A CLONKER !" R.I.P. John Wilson.
Although my favorite was Chris Yates & Bob James "A passion for Angling" even though I was always a game fly fisherman rather than a "Course Angler", the programme captured the whole magic of fishing IMO.
