With over 40 years’ angling experience ‘Nelly’ gained an early reputation as a carp angler and penned the highly successful book ‘River Carping.’ It was whilst carp fishing on the rivers that Neil fell in love with all of the other species and began to develop into one of the top all-round specialist anglers in the UK with some terrific catches of chub and barbel from a variety of venues to his credit.

Wychwood brand manager Mick Barnes commented:

“I have known Neil for longer than I care to admit and have always had great respect for him as an angler; his unique approach to specimen angling will add an enormous amount to us as a brand and put Wychwood in a great position to bring anglers the very best in specimen tackle.”
