I think it would be safe to say that most if not all of us can trace back in the minds eye someone or maybe several individuals who helped shape the angler we are today. The obvious ones who spring to mind from different schools,- Ivan Marks, **** Walker, Arther Cove to name but a few. But are we forgetting the unsung local heroes who often took under their wing, the local lads and set them on the path to proper fishing-long before the likes of the above.
In my own case, it was an elderly angler by the name of Cross, old Tommy was a legend to the local lads- he was a roach expert, that prince of fishermen. And many were the tips and advice he showered on us the receptive tykes.
Ah yes, I remember it now, I had all but forgotten, that would have been a crime. How about you- don't you owe anyone the honour of recall?
