I was chatting to a young match angler yesterday and I mentioned a few famous match anglers who were around when I was enjoying fishing them myself, notably Billy lane and Ivan marks .
I was really surprised when he said he had never heard of either.
Both these guys were revered as amongst the best around in their day with hundreds of BIG wins between them.
Pursuing it a little further I mentioned **** Walker and met with the same response.
So, only maybe one generation gone or thereabouts and Angling superstars are all but forgotten.
What chance today's anglers ??
