Have you ever witnessed anglers with such superb technique or catching ability that you were inspired by what you saw or tried to emulate it?
Im not thinking of secondhand reports read in the press or even watched on video, but anglers you just happened to fish near or watch for a while?
Probably my strongest memory was of a chap on the Mole at Hersham (before the river was transformed into a flood relief channel), who fished some shallow fast water crammed with crowfoot by wading out half way and fished free-lined floating bread under the far bank and between the streamers to catch about a dozen 2-4Ib chub. Within a week i was back at the same spot with my first pair of waders..and blanked.
