Shame Ron's not around, I miss the Rontraversial comment and wisdom...
Whilst we're on Ron tip...
I picked up two **** Walker books the other day (
Fly Dressing Innovations and
Modern Fly Dressings) and a first edition of Peter Wheat's 'Fighting Barbel' for a song... All in manky condition so no resale value, but lovely to own some more angling classics
On another Ron tip I still want to know what happened on the Leam near the wood on a roach trip, that meant he'd never go back...
That's a precis of the end of a cracking fishing tale related in a very generous interview Ron did for me on my first gig for the now sadly defunct
Midland Angler...
The year was 1997apparently, it was August on the upper Leam roaching with a mate... then something happened...
C'mon Ron fill in the blanks mate? I've been intrigued for eight years now
