What memories. The first article I ever had published was in the Midland Angler ca 1962, entitled "Come North for Yorkshire Barbel". I will definitely send for a subscription if I can't get it locally.
The comic sounded good until I read that dreaded bit.........carp section........DOH! No, I'm not anti carp, just sick of the pedestal they are on mind you they are having to move over for barbel. Now, let me just put my wooden spoon back down..... ))
Any mag is only as good as the people who contribute. Gareth Purnell is not a bad editor. I hope he encompasses all types of angling - even fly fishing. The Midlands is home to some of the most famous reservoirs.
